Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says her country has received more than 4,000 deportees from the United States since President Trump took office last Monday.
Sheinbaum says the majority of those deportees are from Mexico.
She had said last year that she hoped to reach an agreement with then-incoming President Donald Trump to not take non-Mexican deportees, but she implied that some of the deportees that have arrived this past week are from other countries.
She said in her regular morning press conference on Monday that taking third-country deportees isn’t new for Mexico, and the country has repatriated non-Mexican deportees under Trump’s first term, as well as former President Joe Biden’s.
This past weekend, Trump threatened Colombia with tariffs after it turned away a deportation flight from the U.S. But later in the day, the White House said Colombia had agreed to their terms and would accept deportation flights.
