Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that Mexico might accept non-Mexican migrants deported from the United States, a shift from its previous stance. This change comes amid concerns over the logistical challenges of widespread deportations under President Trump's immigration policy.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated on Friday that Mexico might accept non-Mexican migrants expelled from the United States, deviating from its previous stance urging President-elect Donald Trump to deport individuals of other nationalities directly to their countries of origin. Trump has pledged to carry out widespread deportations, but critics caution that significantly increasing the already substantial deportation numbers will present major logistical difficulties.
Trump's signature immigration policy is intended to 'secure the border' and reduce migration figures as well as halt the flow of drugs into the country. The repercussions of mass deportations would be particularly evident in Mexico's northern border cities, where high levels of organized crime create a perilous environment. Non-Mexican migrants deported to these areas could become susceptible to kidnapping and extortion. During Trump's first term, thousands of asylum seekers were compelled to remain in Mexico while their cases were processed in the U.S. Furthermore, under a pandemic-era public health policy, tens of thousands of migrants who crossed into the United States were returned to Mexico. In December, Sheinbaum announced plans to request that Trump deport non-Mexican migrants directly to their home countries, rather than sending them to Mexico. However, during a press conference on Friday, Sheinbaum indicated that Mexico is willing to cooperate in cases where the U.S. cannot deport migrants directly to their home countries. Mexico is not obligated to accept non-Mexican migrants, but it has done so in recent years, particularly for individuals from countries like Cuba and Venezuela. These nations often reject deportation flights from the United States but are more likely to accept them when originating from Mexico. In December 2023, Mexico temporarily suspended deportations due to budgetary restrictions
