A few days ago the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that it is officially ending Title 42 as of May 23, 2022.
The Department of Homeland Security also announced that they will no longer be enforcing title 42 as of May 23, 2022.
So, what is title 42 and what does it have to do with immigration policy here in Mexico? In this video, I am going to explain title 42 and the possible impact it will have on immigration policy and enforcement in Mexico.
I recently did a video with a travel advisory not to travel through Nuevo Laredo due to cartel violence at the time. If you haven’t already, I suggest you watch that video which explains why I issued that advice.
Today I am going to give you an update as promised on the current situation and address some of the comments I received on social media as a result of this video. I will also be giving you some travel tips so that you can ensure a safe and enjoyable trip through Mexico.

On March 13, 2022 Mexican Authorities arrested Juan Trevino also known as “El Huevo”. Juan Trevino is known to be the current leader of the Northeast Cartel operating out of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Trevino was wanted in the United States and also a United States Citizen. At midnight March 14, 2022, Trevino was deported and handed over to United States authorities. This prompted immediate retaliation and violence which is still currently going on at this time in the city of Nuevo Laredo. US Consulate Employees have been held up inside the consulate for the last 5 days due to the ongoing violence and the United States Consulate has also suffered damage. Since Trevino’s capture there have been over 22 attacks against the military, over 16 road blockades and collateral damage to the United States Consulate in Nuevo Laredo.
Mexican Authorities have sent more that 700 military personnel and four helicopters to secure the area following the attacks and the United States Ports of Entry were even shut down during the height of the fighting.
I am recommending not to travel this route at this time! This route last year was dubbed the Highway of Death! I am releasing this video to warn travelers to stay away from this route at this time just as I did last year in June.
Today I want to make you aware of some important developments within the immigration system here in Mexico that may affect individuals applying for residency. Mexico’s immigration system is facing challenging times with the influx of foreigners from all over the world. They are also facing a record number of individuals applying for residency. This has caused some issues that we at Retired Life in Mexico NO BULL feel you should be aware of so that you can be better prepared. We will closely be following these issues and continue to keep you informed.
On March 14, 2022, Immigration issued an advisory that as of March 15, 2022, the online appointment system would be suspended until further notice for maintenance.
Just recently, I was made aware of an Instagram post by a German Citizen, who had been detained in the Cancun Immigration Detention Center for 6 days and deported back to his Country. He shared his experience and was accusing Mexico of being corrupt by giving less days on his FMM to make money. He also shed light on the fact that he is not the only person being detained for long periods of time awaiting deportation. He mentioned Americans and Europeans that were being detained with him that had been in the facility 6 months.
In this video I am going to use his experience to help explain why he was detained and dispel some of the myths still being perpetuated by some individuals on social media claiming that this is all fake news. I am also using this situation as an example of what can happen to you if you overstay your tourist FMM. I also want to use this as an example of what conditions you may encounter if your are detained by immigration weather it be that you overstayed your visa or are detained for a short period of time because you are not carrying your original immigration documents on you.
I will also be providing some tips so that hopefully you can avoid putting yourself in this individuals situation.
