The region is experiencing a record flow of migrants trying to make their way to the US, whose Customs and Border Protection agency intercepted a record 1.7 million undocumented migrants trying to enter the country illegally in the fiscal year that ended on Sept. 30, 2021. The director of the Center for Human Dignity, Luis Rey Garcia Villagran, told media outlets that in light of the poor living conditions in Tapachula, the migrants are prepared to accept the risks of travel. In Mexico City, the migrants hope to receive the prompt attention of immigration authorities that they say has been lacking in Tapachula, where they remain camped out in a park, with only tents to protect them from the elements.

Mother-of-four among 20 dead in Mexico cockfight massacre (New York Post)

Prosecutors claimed that the shooters planned the attack and entered the area in a stolen truck owned by a snack food company.

Investigators found 15 vehicles, allegedly belonging to the victims. That came a fortnight weeks after two women — a California travel blogger and a German tourist — were killed in crossfire between rival gangs at a resort bar in Tulum. Prosecutors claimed that the shooters planned the attack and entered the area in a stolen truck owned by a snack food company. She was shot once in the lungs, and twice in the legs, a family member claimed on a GoFundMe page. Arleth is currently in critical condition at a hospital in Mexico. She is one of four that were hurt in the shooting. An American mom is dead and her teenage sister is in critical condition after 20 people were killed in a massacre at a cock fight.

The bottom two sides in the standings, with only one win between them, they faced off with only pride at stake. They recovered thanks in small part to the form they found away from the Estadio Azteca. Though they remained unbeaten at home, no other team in the final phase picked up as many points on the road as El Tri's 13. Showing why they made it to the last two World Cups, Los Ticos won all three matches to secure a play-off with New Zealand in June and just miss out on third place and direct qualification on goal difference. The Paris Saint-Germain man conceded just one goal in their last six matches and kept a clean sheet in seven of their 14 games to show that he is the bedrock of Costa Rica’s defensive set-up. In the final matchday’s other two games, Canada slipped to a 1-0 defeat in Panama. Gabriel Torres scored the goal, one that would have meant so much more for Los Canaleros if they had picked up more points in their previous two matches, though it did not stop their fans from celebrating the strike all the same. Going into the last three games, they were a point adrift of Panama and out of the qualifying places altogther.

More than a million migrants have been sent back so far. Many migrants are from Mexico, South and Central America and the Caribbean but migrants from African and other nations have flocked to Mexico, as well as Ukrainians and dissident Russians fleeing war.

The two nations are placed second and third, respectively, in the CONCACAF Octagonal, with Costa Rica three points behind both of them in fourth place.

Jamaica-Honduras is a dead rubber clash, but El Salvador still has a role to play tonight at Estadio Azteca. Can former United States international Hugo Pérez contribute one last shock for his old program, leading El Salvador to an upset over Mexico (and a Costa Rica win) in hopes of overturning a goal differential disparity? Going into tonight's game, there was some discourse about whether the United States should play a full-strength lineup or save some key players like Tyler Adams and Christian Pulisic from additional wear. Fellow card carriers like midfielder Celso Borges and defenders Francisco Calvo and Keysher Fuller were left off the bench altogether.

With this 2-0 result and a USMNT tie, Mexico would finish second in the Octagonal, dropping the Americans to third.

US plans to end Covid-era order blocking asylum seekers at Mexico ... (The Guardian)

Decision has not been finalized, official tells Reuters, but rule known as Title 42 would end by 23 May.

And restrictions took effect over the objections of CDC officials, and Dr Martin Cetron of the Division of Migration and Quarantine refused the order to begin its use. It was perhaps the broadest of Trump’s actions to restrict crossings and crack down on migrants. It also raises the possibility that more asylum-seeking migrants will come to the border at a time when flows are already high. We are doing a lot of work to plan for that contingency.” But the delay runs against the wishes of top Democrats and others who say Covid has long been used as an excuse for the US to get out of asylum obligations. The limits went into place in March 2020 under the Trump administration as coronavirus cases soared.

Mexico Qualifies for Eighth Straight World Cup, Secures Place at ... (Sports Illustrated)

For an eighth straight time, Mexico will compete at the World Cup. The previous seven have all ended in the round of 16.

The last one it failed to qualify for on merit came in 1982. Mexico is heading back to the World Cup for an eighth straight time. Mexico, like the rest of the field, will learn its group fate during Friday’s draw. Mexico has not missed a World Cup since 1990, when the team was banned by FIFA after fielding overaged players for a 1988 Concacaf U-20 tournament. No country has lost more games in World Cup history than Mexico (27), which also has the worst goal-differential at –38. At the 2018 World Cup, Mexico was eliminated by Brazil in the round of 16—marking the seventh straight World Cup in which El Tri fell in the first knockout match. Nevertheless, it hasn’t been a dominant qualifying run for Mexico. Under head coach Tata Martino, Mexico won the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup; however El Tri struggled in the summer of 2021 against the rival U.S., losing in the Concacaf Nations League and Gold Cup finals.

Mexico seals World Cup place vs. El Salvador as positivity returns ... (ESPN)

Mexico booked its spot at Qatar 2022 and it looked like manager Tata Martino was embracing a return to his forward-thinking style of play.

"This was something I expected from us and it's something [qualifying for the World Cup] that we needed to do," said Martino after the match. "I think that we improved our chance creation but I insist that we still need to do better with the final ball and have more conviction in the final third." Not too long ago in the Octagonal, El Tri were defined by a lack of goals through low-scoring draws and narrow wins. With a place at Qatar on the line (albeit more of a formality given the sequence of events that would have seen Costa Rica pip Mexico to the final spot) manager Gerardo "Tata" Martino was unexpectedly bolder than usual. "I really liked the circulation of the ball that we had," he said. Although Mexico were unable to find another goal in the second half, it remained a satisfying performance from Martino and his men.
