The normalization of violence, threats, death, and persecutions has had a strong influence on Mexican youth, causing addictions and
suicide,” stated the specialist (i.e. Dr. Alejandro Águila Tejeda, Director Instituto Hispanoamericano de Suicidología)
In the case of Chihuahua, which currently ranks fifth in violence and suicide rates, Águila Tejeda explained that, for instance, Ciudad Juárez, which is a border city and one of the main channels for drug trafficking across the U.S. border, not only has an extremely high criminal rate, but has also shown high suicide rates caused by the hostile environment generated by organized crime.

In Mexico, an average of nine women are believed to be murdered every day, according to UN Women’s latest figures released in November 2018.
The country’s criminal code does specifically reference femicides, defining the crime as one “that deprives a woman of her life for gendered reasons”, evidence of which include signs of sexual violence; “degrading” injuries; a history of violence at home, work or school.
https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/how-one-woman-is-mapping-femicides-in-mexico/
Murders of women also rose nationwide, with 861 cases in 2018, compared to 735 the year prior. Mexico experienced a record number of murders for the second year in a row in 2018, with official statistics logging 33% more killings than in 2017, Reuters reports. Mexican authorities opened 33,341 murder investigations in 2018, the highest number ever, the country’s Interior Ministry reported Sunday. The figure outpaced even last year’s toll of over 25,000, which was then the highest number since the record began in 1997.

MPP - Migrant Protection Protocols
The Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) are a U.S. Government action whereby certain foreign individuals entering or seeking admission to the U.S. from Mexico – illegally or without proper documentation – may be returned to Mexico and wait outside of the U.S. for the duration of their immigration proceedings, where Mexico will provide them with all appropriate humanitarian protections for the duration of their stay.
https://www.dhs.gov/news/2019/01/24/migrant-protection-protocols
Under MPP repatriated migrants (24. June 2019)
15.079 thereof 4.780 children with their parents
https://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/report_pdf/us_mexico0719_web.pdf
The significant change in the composition of the migrants, from single Mexican men to Central American families and unaccompanied children has created unique challenges. Unlike Mexicans, they cannot, by law, be swiftly deported to their home country, and families also cannot be indefinitely detained because of rules limiting the incarceration of children to 20 days. Border infrastructure, largely designed for single males, has not adjusted to the demographic shift. The Border Patrol bolstered medical screenings after two children died in December. It has also received $30 million to upgrade the South Texas processing center and funding to construct the facility in El Paso.
