Mexico’s immigration chief presented his resignation to the president Friday as the country embarks on a crackdown on irregular migration through its territory in response to U.S. pressure.
The National Immigration Institute said in a brief statement that Tonatiuh Guillén thanked President Andrés Manuel López Obrador for the opportunity to serve the country, but it did not give a reason for why he presented his resignation.
Earlier Friday, López Óbrador acknowledged that controls are lax at dozens of crossings at the country’s southern border, vowing to correct the situation amid U.S. pressure . . .
