Mexico's
detention rate of Central American minors is up 49 percent since last
year, according to Mexico's National Immigration Institute.
The
institute says almost half of the detained 11,893 underage migrants
were travelling alone or with a smuggler between January and May.
Two-thirds of the detained were
between 12 and 17. One third of the minors were 11-years-old or
younger.
The country's welfare agencies are being used to care for the children before they are deported, according to the institute.
However,
there are accusations of inadequate facilities to handle all the minors
detained, as sited in the 2014 U.S. immigration crisis.
