Violencia incesante: dos estudios de caso de migrantes por desplazamiento forzado hacia Estados Unidos

The persistent violence in Mexico continues to cause forced migration, forcing people to leave their communities to protect their physical integrity by resorting to requesting political asylum in the United States. This study describes the experience of people entering the United States through political asylum in two different time periods. For this purpose, a qualitative investigation was carried out, which included in-depth interviews with two people who were forcibly displaced in the state of Michoacán in 2014 and 2021. Among the main findings, the violence that continues in the State, caused by criminal organizations and the continuity of violence and the procedures for entering the United States seeking political asylum, which remain, painfully, very similar over the years.
