The Mexico State government decided to relocate in Huehuetoca town a definitive shelter to provide humanitarian aid to immigrants who cross through this territory in their attempt to reach the United States.

State administration staff dismantled last night a 500 square meters tent. They took food, clothing, footwear, blankets and mattresses and moved them to Huehuetoca.

On July 13, the Diocese of Cuautitlan opened a temporary migration shelter under the vehicular bridge in the neighborhood of the same name.

The place received about 200 or 300 illegal immigrants who could sleep in the place, they could bath and have food and medical services after the close of the migrant's home San Juan Diego, which for three years operated in Lecheria colony.
