AMLO accepted the resignation of the Mexican head of the National Institute of Migration, Tonatiuh Guillén López, who led the federal government’s initial strategy of encouraging the “human right to migrate.” In his place, AMLO named Francisco Garduño Yáñez, a former official with Mexico’s Attorney General and former secretary of public security in Mexico City, to promote “the toughening of the federal government’s strategy to stop migration and comply with its commitment to U.S. President Donald Trump.”
