A group of migrants from Honduras and Nicaragua makes use of an abandoned car to shave and wash up before continuing north.


The San Juan Diego shelter for migrants in Tultitlán, State of Mexico, Mexico is under siege from neighbors complaining of crime, over-crowding and drug use. The sanctuary will probably be forced to close in the near future. The Catholic Church-run haven is one of a series of stop-off points for migrants during their journey north through Mexico to the United States by freight train. A group of migrants from Honduras and Nicaragua makes use of an abandoned car out side the shelter beside the railroad tracks to shave and wash up before jumping another train north.
