The article has as a starting point the research in progress and which is still in its initial phase, carried out at the Islamic Center of the city of Recife. The Islamic Center, in parallel with its role as a place of worship, stands as a reference for transnational 'South-South' migrants in the capital of Pernambuco. Participates in the mobility mediation process of migrants to the city of Recife, constituting a place for exchanging information, guidance, establishing contacts, etc. Migratory infrastructures are interconnected technologies, institutions and actors, which facilitate and condition mobility. The proposal is to rethink the importance of the Islamic Center in migratory infrastructure, as a convergent point in these mobility processes. It is also observed how the mediation of mobility results in a process of politicization of the infrastructures that condition it.
