Mexico isn’t receiving the influx of non-Mexican deportees that some expected under the Trump administration.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico has received more than 38,000 people who have been deported from the U.S. since President Donald Trump took office. Fewer than 6,000 of them have been from countries other than Mexico.
Sheinbaum said Mexico decided to accept people from third countries “for humanitarian reasons,” not because of any official agreement with the Trump administration, and that most of them have returned to their countries of origin.
The few thousand non-Mexican deportees that have arrived in Mexico since the beginning of Trump’s term is less than some experts expected it might be — as fewer people attempt to seek asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border.
