"My name is J, I am from Nicaragua, I have been in Tapachula since November. On one occasion I was walking along the highway passing through the Tapachula checkpoint, agents of the National Guard were coming towards me, they grabbed me, they didn't say anything to me, they put me in the vehicle and brought me to the Siglo XXI Migratory Station. They detained me there for two days, and it is the worst. I have never been imprisoned in my country, because I am an honest and hard-working person, but when I arrived here, for the simple fact of being a migrant they treated me like a criminal, it is a prison inside".
