The INM will segregate for 5 days "undisciplined" undocumented people.


The "undisciplined" foreigners–lodged in some of the 48 migratory stations that operate in the country– will be segregated for five days to other secure spaces.

The civil groups that work in the promotion of the human rights of the undocumented achieved to established a separation time limit of the "undisciplined", which will be applied by the agents of the National Institute of Migration (INM).

The non-governmental organizations (NGO) had proposed that the segregation time be three days, but, finally, the INM clerk of the Office of the secretary of Government, fixed the interim of five days in the new norms for the migratory stations, present in the last phase of prior, administrative review.

Nevertheless, the Government was not flexible in the restrictions for the entrance to the migratory stations of representatives of civil groups, lawyers, priests and those that intend to support to the undocumented.

The new norms include a chapter relating to "disciplinary measures". This section indicates the verbal, private or public possibility to apply admonition (in case of recidivism), when a foreigner acts against property or the people where they cohabit. Nevertheless, details about what motives will be penalized were not offered, based on which the administrator will be able to separate a foreigner "for up to five days".
