TRNN - Exiled Again: The Stories of Mexico's Returned Migrants

In 2019, Trump's Remain Mexico policy stranded over 70,000 asylum seekers in all the cities, exposing them to violence, exploitation, and dire conditions.

In one of Tabasco's few shelters for returned migrants in the south of Mexico, the stories reveal a system that traps them in exhaustion and despair.
