In July 2021, this country detained more than 210,000 undocumented immigrants, the highest number in 20 years. In the context of this crisis, the flow of people arriving at Mexico's northern border increased, while epidemic contamination forced migrant shelters to close their doors, accentuating the vulnerability of the people. When there was a case of contagion, the shelters did not have the conditions to isolate the migrants. COVID-19 modified their operation, and they had to adapt in dramatic conditions. There is information about the situation of shetlers in the northern border of the country, but little is known in an urban environment like the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico. Although shelters in Mexico City receive fewer people and have more resources than border shelters, the crisis situation increased the vulnerability of migrants. 2025-08-20T14:22:13Z 2025-08-20T14:22:13Z 2025-07-08 chapter 9781035301232 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/166034 eng image/jpeg Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International https://www.e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/handbook-of-research-on-migration-covid-19-and-cities-9781035301225.html https://www.elgaronline.com/edcollchap-oa/book/9781035301232/chapter29.xml Edward Elgar Publishing Edward Elgar Publishing 10.4337/9781035301232.00040 The United States ceased to be a recipient of individuals coming from Central America and increased the expulsion of illegal ones.
