I worked with @katelinthicum and @veronicagcarde1 on this @latimes story about Mexico's attempts to deal with its massive number of the unidentified dead. Reform is underway, but not fast enough for families of the disappeared. latimes.com/world-nation/s… Credit to @quintoelab, and to @efra_tzuc and @marcelaturati for their shocking investigation into how many people might be in the government's morgues and graves without a name. They did a huge number of public records requests. quintoelab.org/crisisforense/…

1/ A couple years ago, while following the cases of Central American families whose relatives had gone missing after emigrating recently, or even decades ago, @Felix_PhotoSV and I noticed something strange: some of them got back in touch on Facebook. onezero.medium.com/lost-children-… 2/ Organizations like @MMMesoamericano and collectives like @COFAMIDE2 have done the vital work of pressuring governments, providing psychological care, and bringing families to Mexico for on-the-ground searches. But with limited resources, are there also other ways to look?

Here are the craziest things we learned about the Migrant Protection Protocols while reporting with @KannoYoungs for @nytimes. What happens when you're stuck in Mexico but your case is being heard in the US?
nytimes.com/2019/04/05/us/… Daniel Nuñez was told that his asylum hearing would be held at the San Ysidro port, in California, a nearly three-hour drive from where he is in Mexicali. Other accounts tell us that everyone else in Mexicali has to figure out how to another city every time there's a court date.

1/ We don't know a great deal about what is happening with the rollout of the #asylum plan – the Migrant Protection Protocols – that forces people to stay in #Mexico while they're waiting their US court dates. But over a week after it started in Tijuana, here's what we know. 2/ There have been 36 people released so far, according to @INAMI_mx. Every one I talked to was an adult who had requested asylum alone. We've watched them come out of the footbridge at San Ysidro with a transcript of their interview and a notice to appear in court in late March.
