Teresa Castellanos Ruiz has suffered threats against her and her daughters, in addition to the kidnapping of her brother, for fighting, since 2012, against the Morelos Integral Project, which includes the construction of two thermoelectric plants in Huexca, a gas pipeline that crosses 3 states in Mexico and an aqueduct that will divert water from agricultural crops. In 2011, the federal government tendered and concessioned the project to Spanish and Italian companies. All this was done without consulting the indigenous communities.

Hundreds of migrants from Central and South America gathered in front of the National Institute of Migration in Mexico City on Tuesday to protest the deaths of 55 migrants who died in a truck crash last week. The demonstrators held banners reading "No human being is illegal" and "We are not criminals, we are workers" as they gathered in solidarity with fellow migrants. "Many died, and unfortunately, (their) families have been left crying because they had a dream, a purpose to help their families prosper," said Irma Flores, a Honduran migrant. A cargo truck jammed with people who appeared to be Central American migrants crashed into a pedestrian bridge over a highway in the Mexican state of Chiapas, Thursday, killing at least 55 people and injuring more than a hundred. Dead and injured migrants jumbled into a pile inside the collapsed freight container, with some struggling to extract themselves from the weight of bodies piled atop them. In recent months, Mexican authorities have tried to block migrants from walking in large groups toward the U.S. border, but the clandestine and illicit flow of migrants smuggling has continued.

In the first days of the quarantine due to the covid 19 pandemic in Mexico City, I took on the task of going through the city's subway, which on normal days can transport about 4.6 million passengers a day, with uncertainty and a bit of disinformation we equip ourselves with the team that was at hand at that time and we went out to document.
