What are the immediate consequences for the approximately 100 migrants stranded in Acapulco, and how does this reflect Mexico's broader immigration policy?

Around 100 migrants, primarily from Venezuela and Cuba, were stranded in Acapulco, Mexico, after Mexican immigration officials relocated them there from southern Mexico under the pretense of facilitating their journey to the U.S. border. This action is part of Mexico's policy of dispersing migrants to deter them from reaching the border, a tactic that reduced the number of migrants reaching the U.S. border last year. The migrants now face challenges including limited resources and high transportation costs.
