In a context of restriction of both irregular migration flows and those in need of protection in the global North, the objective of this article is to analyze the implementation of Mexican refuge policies after the legal changes of 2011. Based on the documentary review and the statistics from the administrative records of COMAR, the obstacles encountered by those who require international protection to be granted refugee status, or, in this case, complementary protection (protección complementaria), are analyzed. While Mexican legislation is generous in terms of the possibility of granting these legal protections, the analysis of their implementation allows us to account for practices of blocking, deterrence and immobilization that - in the logic of containment - make it difficult, as well as with often prevent, achieve international protection.

Palabras llave : refugees; complementary protection; international protection; Central American; Mexico.
