Mexico's growing Native American Muslim community finds relief against poverty with support from the Turkish development aid agency, TİKA. The agency supplies livestock and sewing machines to the small community, which survives on livestock breeding and selling clothes they sew.. The mountainous area near San Cristobal de Las Casas is home to some 400 Muslims from Tzotzil, indigenous Mayan people whose population is concentrated in the highlands of Chiapas. Women sew traditional dresses to sell to tourists and sewing workshop set up by TİKA gives them support and extra income for each household in this poor community where mass conversions to Islam began in the 1980s. Most people are recent converts from Christianity and they are part of Mexico's larger Muslim community that numbers around 5,000 people, a minority in a country of 130 million people.. Operating in the country since 2016, TİKA launched some 60 projects in this period and provided about $2 million in development aid. In August, the Turkish agency started construction on a health center in the state of Oaxaca. TİKA also opened libraries in schools in Chiapas and last summer and established two greenhouses that will provide food to 300,000 people a year in the Iztapalapa district of Mexico City.

Prvog juna Nayib Bukele, bivši gradonačelnik glavnog grada Salvadora, inauguriran je za predsjednika te srednjoameričke zemlje, nakon što je na izborima dobio 53 posto glasova. Bio je to poraz ljevice koja je u dva mandata vodila zemlju. Bukele, 37-godišnji marketinški stručnjak, došao je na vlast kao kandidat Velike alijanse za nacionalno jedinstvo (GANA). Svoju je kampanju usredotočio na ukazivanje primjera korupcije na društvenim mrežama povezane s dvjema velikim tamošnjim političkim partijama, između ostalih i one iz FLMN-a, stranke u kojoj je počeo političku karijeru, a iz koje je izbačen 2017. godine. Njegova nova stranka podržava pooštravanje mjera zatvorske sigurnosti, podupire smrtnu kaznu i suprotstavlja se dekriminalizaciji pobačaja.

Muslimani su manjina na Kubi i prema podacima Islamske lige Kube, na tom otoku ih živi oko 6.000, od čega oko 1.200 žena. One kažu da mnogi misle da biti musliman znači neizbježno završiti u procesu "arabizacije", no ističu da su ponosne kubanske Latine i da se ne žele odreći specifičnosti Kubanke.
