The Secretary of Defense, Luis Cresentcio Sandoval, assured that the National Guard can stop people without documents
in the northern and southern borders of Mexico to stop the migratory flow.

During the morning conference that took place in Quintana Roo, Cresencio Sandoval stressed that the work is done in collaboration
with staff of the National Institute of Migration, which has a small number of staff.

The Secretary of Defense assured that they only detain migrants whom they put at the disposal of the INM because they are not committing a crime.

"We have the deployment to the Isthmus doing the same task, relying on the transition that allows us to work in the field of public security
and we can do this coadyuvancia considering that migration is not a crime, it is an administrative fault.
"Then we stop them, we put them at the disposal of the authorities so that they can carry out their normal procedure
that must be done and the authorities will determine what will be developed in the future," he said.

On the southern border, on the border with Guatemala and Belize, they deployed 2 thousand elements of the National Guard
and added 4,500 more to the interior of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec,
while on the border with the United States there are 15,000 elements of federal forces to stop irregular migration.

"We detect them in this collaboration with the National Institute of Migration, which are migrants who have a non-regular movement,
who do not have their documentation in order and we put them at the disposal of the corresponding authority," he added.

Up to 89 US immigration and customs agents will be sent to Guatemala by the end of August as part of a two-year agreement
between the two countries to try to reduce migratory flows to the north, according to a document.

The cooperation memorandum, signed on May 27 in Guatemala City between the Department of National Security of the United States (DHS)
and the Ministry of the Interior of the Central American country,
aims to increase border security, counteract trafficking and illicit trafficking of people, drug trafficking and the illegal arms trade.

In a first phase of the so-called "Irregular Migration Mitigation Plan", which can be extended,
will be deployed up to 49 customs and border protection (CBP, for its acronym in English) and immigration (ICE, for its acronym in Spanish) English).

The second phase, which starts this week, considers increasing up to 89 CBP and ICE agents until the end of August.
Those uniformed will provide advice, investigation and tutoring to their Guatemalan counterparts
for detention and operations against the networks that illegally transfer migrants.

Responsible resignation of the border patrol and US customs head.

In addition, the document states that each country will be responsible for the costs of implementing the agreement.

The Acting Secretary of National Security of the United States, Kevin McAleenan,
who signed the cooperation memorandum from the United States, will return to Guatemala on Wednesday
for a second meeting on migration in which the security ministers of El Salvador and Honduras will also participate. .

The talk will be held in the midst of discussions between Guatemalan and US authorities to determine if Guatemala can be considered
a "third safe country" to receive the thousands of migrants that the Donald Trump government intends to deport.

At the beginning of June, the United States and Mexico agreed to reduce the flow of migrants who escape poverty and violence
in Central America and, crossing Mexico, reach the north in search of a better future.

As part of the agreement, Mexico committed to strengthening its border with Guatemala by sending thousands of troops
from its newly created National Guard and expanding the Migrant Protection Protocol (MPP) program,
which allows the United States to send to Mexican soil to asylum seekers while awaiting their immigration trials.
