Luis Rey García Villagrán, founder and coordinator of the Centro de Dignificación Humana in Tapachula, Chiapas, was arrested on charges related to organized crime and human trafficking. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum clarified that García Villagrán is not considered an activist but has had an outstanding arrest warrant for several years. His detention occurred amid ongoing migration issues in the region, where approximately 300 migrants recently departed from Tapachula heading north through Mexico. Many of these migrants have been waiting for months for immigration resolution from authorities such as the Comar and the National Institute of Migration (INM). The arrest has drawn attention to the complexities surrounding migration and human trafficking in southern Mexico. Separately, lawyer and activist Luis José Magallanes has been detained for a month, with claims of unjust imprisonment.
