Migrant and refugee support initiatives in Puebla

Overview

Legislative efforts in Puebla, Mexico, have focused on enhancing support for migrants and refugees. Initially, the Migration and International Affairs Commission of the Puebla Congress approved a project to improve coordination between the Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance (COMAR) and the Puebla Migrant Assistance Institute (IPAM). This initiative aimed to strengthen guidance and referral mechanisms for those seeking international protection, including the potential establishment of a local COMAR office.

Subsequently, legislative focus expanded to include the ‘Acción Migrante’ package introduced by Deputy Delfina Pozos Vergara. This package targets the reintegration of returning migrants from Puebla through five proposals. These include requiring all 217 municipalities to provide assistance spaces and trained liaisons, as well as recognizing deported migrants as a vulnerable population entitled to specific benefits, such as discounts and a proposed non-contributory pension.
