Mexico closes 5 migrant holding centers across country

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's government says it has closed migrant holding centers in five parts of the country because they did not meet the minimum conditions required for shelters.

The National Migrant Institute said in a statement Friday it had closed centers in the cities of Reynosa, Nogales, Tuxpan, Morelia and Acapulco.

Mexico's National Human Rights Commission had warned of the poor conditions in these centers at least since 2016, when it complained of a lack of medical services of most of them and a lack of beds in dormitories.
