Mexico says it has received more than 75,000 Mexican nationals deported from the United States since the start of President Donald Trump’s term.
Nearly half of those Mexican nationals deported since Trump’s inauguration in January have passed through one of 10 centers set up by the Mexican government to receive deportees.
Those centers are part of the program México Te Abraza, or Mexico Embraces You. The Mexican government set that program up in preparation for the mass deportations Trump said his administration would undertake in his second term.
At the centers along the border, Mexican deportees are connected with social services and assistance travelling to their states of origin.
More than 7,000 Mexican nationals have been deported into Nogales, Sonora — the site of one of the centers — since the start of the year.
