With enhanced security, comprehensive care, and institutional support for travelers, the 2026 Holy Week Special Operation has begun. This national strategy protects those returning to Mexico and strengthens family reunification. The Secretary of Welfare, Laura Artemisa García Chávez, emphasized that this program, spearheaded by Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, responds to the sense of belonging felt by thousands of Mexicans who return to their homeland each year to reconnect with their families, culture, and identity.
She underscored that this strategy not only strengthens security and combats practices such as extortion, corruption, and discrimination faced by migrants, but also fosters social cohesion, community development, and pride in national identity, regardless of their location.
He also acknowledged the leadership of Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier, whose initiatives have strengthened the “For the Love of Puebla” Representation Offices of the State Government in the United States, with the goal of providing close support to Puebla natives living abroad.
He also highlighted the approval of the Migrant Deputation by the current local legislature, stating, “This demonstrates the state’s commitment to supporting and promoting respect for the rights of Puebla migrants and their families.”
For his part, the legal commissioner of the National Migration Institute, Jonathan Ávalos Meléndez, reported that the operation will take place from March 18 to April 18, with the establishment of 250 service modules throughout the country to ensure timely and safe assistance for travelers.
The Government of the State of Puebla reaffirms its commitment to work in coordination with the Government of Mexico to ensure that every resident of Puebla, both within and outside the country, has protection, support, and full access to their rights, in order to strengthen well-being, family unity, and pride in our national identity.
