Sumari:The article aims to analyze how the immigration deterrence policy in the current government of Mexico (2018-2022) has been characterized by its militarization. The article is based on a qualitative analysis, including the review of secondary sources such as literature, laws, regulations, as well as reports of the Executive Power of the Mexican Federal Government, other government institutions and civil society organizations. It is observed that the militarization in the deterrence policy is presented in three of the four parameters from which the analysis was raised: appointment of soldiers in some of the positions of a civil institution such as the INM; de facto operation with military practices and under the mandate of the Sedena itself, in some institutions such as the GN, in charge of implementing the deterrence policy; the transfer of civilian activities,, such as the surveillance and insurance of migrants, to the armed forces.
