Mexico received a total of 4,094 deportees from the United States during the week of January 20 to 26. The majority of these individuals are Mexican nationals, although there were also deportees from other nationalities. President Claudia Sheinbaum indicated that there has not been a significant increase in deportation cases since Donald Trump took office.
Amid the implementation of anti-immigration measures by the Trump administration, Mexico reportedly rejected the United States' request to allow the landing of a U.S. military plane carrying deported migrants. Sheinbaum mentioned that in recent days, deportees had been received through commercial flights, and that coordination with the Trump government is carried out while respecting Mexico's sovereignty.
The president informed that, in the case of deportees who are not Mexican nationals, prior coordination is also carried out with other governments, especially from Central America. Sheinbaum highlighted as positive the agreement reached between Colombia and the United States, following threats of sanctions from the Trump administration if Colombia did not agree to accept deported migrants.
In summary, Mexico has received a significant number of deportees from the United States, mainly Mexican citizens, with an established coordination process with the Trump government. The reception of deportees has occurred both through commercial flights and for those of other nationalities, maintaining respect for national sovereignty.
