Safe Havens for Trans Migrants on the U.S.-Mexico Border
[]
YES! Magazine - Racial Justice
As asylum options dwindle in the U.S., Mexico is strengthening paths to citizenship for trans migrants.
For trans migrants like Tisoy, who are already undertaking arduous journeys to the United States, asylum options have been shut down, and the hope of finding safe haven is dwindling.
Activists and organizations agree that strengthening access to asylum in Mexico, along with health care and job opportunities, is key to sustaining support for trans migrants.
Casa Frida obtained external funding to continue growing, but nearly 60% of its 2025-2026 budget is at risk due to USAID cuts.
Casa Frida is concentrating on these local integration opportunities, providing a safer environment where individuals can explore a wide range of life options.
