Following President Trump's inauguration on January 21, 2025, many migrants, including Venezuelans like Maria Del Carmen Cortes, faced despair as the CBP One app, crucial for scheduling asylum appointments, was shut down. This situation exacerbated their already dire circumstances, forcing them to find makeshift ways to survive. Doctors Without Borders has reported a significant increase in the number of migrants needing mental health support, treating dozens weekly due to the compounded stress of their predicaments.
Maria Del Carmen Cortes, reflecting on her situation after migrating: "Yesterday, I felt depressed," illustrating the emotional toll of waiting and uncertainty faced by many migrants.
Franking Frías from Doctors Without Borders highlighted a troubling trend: "We have been treating between 40 to 50 migrants a week in Mexico City," underlining the mental health crisis among migrants.
