Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Thursday that her administration is working with other countries in Central America to coordinate in case of mass deportations next year.
Sheinbaum said during her regular morning press conference that her secretary of foreign affairs is in touch with Central American countries ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next month.
Trump has promised mass deportations once he takes office.
Sheinbaum said Mexico will continue to ask the U.S. to deport third country deportees directly back to their country of origin, rather than to Mexico.
In the past, the U.S. had sent non-Mexican deportees to Mexico in cases where strained diplomatic relations make it difficult to send a deportation flight directly to that country.
