"We are Venezuelan migrants, we were caught by the immigration authorities on the San Cristobal Highway and they told us lies. They said they were going to give us a permit to be able to continue traveling, because of our children. But then they took us to a shelter, Siglo XXI, if you can call it that, because it is an inhumane place, practically a prison. They never gave us a permit and, instead, they forced us to sign an exit document in which, according to them, we voluntarily asked to leave through the border with Guatemala. But we are going north, we are not interested in staying in Mexico."
