Elections are Sunday, and more than 3,000 women are running for office. "We women will continue to work three times as hard as men," says one candidate.

Anger over runaway violence, corruption and a stagnant economy are dominating voter sentiment. If polls are accurate, Mexico will elect a populist leftist making his third run for the presidency.

The duo's video for the title track of their latest album Un Besito Más depicts a mother and father, who are facing deportation, deciding to leave their child in the U.S. It has millions of views.

Voters in Mexico will go to the polls next month to election a new president, an entirely new Congress, nine governors and hundreds of mayors and local representatives. With voter discontent at an all time high, violence against candidates, campaign workers and officials is rampant.

We preview Mexico's upcoming elections in which crime and corruption are among the big issues.

In Mexico, thousands of women are running for office, the largest number of female candidates ever taking part in the country's political future.

Central American leaders have been mostly quiet about the immigration policy of separating families on the U.S.-Mexico border. Central American citizens have been vocal in their opposition.

Nearly 2,000 migrant children have been removed from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a U.S. policy of deterrence. Many politicians, church leaders and others have decried the policy as inhumane. But is the policy having the effect the government wants?

Andrés Manuel López Obrador looked to broaden his voter base, reaching out to more voters, even conservatives, angered by epic crime and corruption. Polls show it is working.

It seems unlikely that Mexico can gain much from an all out trade war with the U.S., but it looks like Mexican officials aren't backing down.

Mexico's presidential election is a little more than a month away, and the front-runner in the race is a populist leftist who has the country's business elite running scared.

Central Americans are keenly aware of the Trump administration's zero tolerance policy toward asylum seekers. But the numbers of those coming from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala continue to rise, despite threats they may be separated from their children and spend months in detention.

A radio news host has been killed in southern Mexico, bringing to at least 32 the number of journalists killed since 2012. Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists.

Nearly 150 Central America migrants are camped out at the entrance to a U.S. border station in Tijuana, Mexico. U.S. officials say they can only take a limited number of asylum applications.

Migrants who traveled in a caravan through Central America to the U.S.-Mexico border near San Diego face slow processing by U.S. immigration officials.

The remnants of a large caravan of Central American migrants gathered at one of the busiest U.S.-Mexico border crossings. They were turned away because the entry had reached capacity.

Hundreds of asylum seekers are in Tijuana, Mexico, hoping to cross the border into San Diego. This is despite President Trump's order to Department of Homeland Security to "stop the caravan."

The recent deadly protests in Nicaragua have fractured Ortega's relations with the business community which has long been vital to his political survival. Students continue to call for his ouster.

The protests and violence were prompted by planned changes to the pension system. The U.S. State Department ordered embassy staff members' relatives to leave the country and curtailed services.

The president of Nicaragua has recalled a welfare overhaul package that started days of protests. The Nicaraguan Human Rights Office says at least 25 people have been killed in the protests.
