Unaccompanied children are especially
                              unlikely to receive asylum in Mexico.


                              On average 85-95% of unaccompanied
                              children detained are deported.


                              INM employs child protection officers (OPIs) to
                              screen unaccompanied minors for protection
                              needs and ‘conduct best interest assessments.’

                              However 70% of unaccompanied boys and
                              80% of the girls held in detention have not
                              met with OPIs.
