MEXICAN Immigration Official ACCUSED of Extortion and Bribery
— Director-level officials at Mexico’s National Migration Institute (INM) revealed widespread corruption within the agency. Leaders sell documents, charge for favors, and extort migrants before being moved out.
Carmen Yadira De Los Santos Robledo, INM regional delegate in Yucatan, has pressured her staff to demand bribes and illegally sell travel documents. Despite internal investigations, she faces no consequences due to her connections with INM commissioner Francisco Garduno.
De Los Santos was relocated to Yucatan in 2022 after protests and an investigation in Chiapas. Her staff extorted Cuban migrants with valid documents by threatening detention and deportation.
Internal affairs documents accessed by Breitbart Texas show De Los Santos charged $1,500-$2,000 for undocumented humanitarian visa cards. These illicit fees were collected in cash and sent up the chain of command.
