After Hunger Strikes, Prisoners at Otay Mesa Detention Center Blocked from Communicating with Support Group
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, about a dozen families whose loved ones are disappeared have
been camping outside the home of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador
for almost two weeks demanding his government search for the over 60,000
people who've gone missing in Mexico and bring their families justice.
The families say the nationwide coronavirus lockdown has disrupted
search missions and that proposed austerity measures announced in April
will likely end vital funding and support to families of the
disappeared.
