Mexico hopes to strike an agreement with the incoming Trump administration to send migrants who aren't from Mexico directly back to their home countries in the case of mass deportations.
President-elect Donald Trump has promised mass deportations when he takes office in January.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said during her regular morning press conference on Thursday that, while Mexico is “in solidarity with all (deportees), the priority will be on receiving Mexicans.”
In the past, Mexico has accepted deportees from countries with which the U.S. has strained or nonexistent diplomatic relations, like Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. Those relationships sometimes mean the countries won’t accept deportees directly from the U.S.
Sheinbaum said she’s meeting soon with governors from some of Mexico’s border states to discuss coordinating plans to receive Mexicans deported from the U.S.
