Mexico Confirms It Has Received Non-Mexican Deportees from the U.S.

HeadlineJan 28, 2025

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says Mexico has received 4,000 deportees from the U.S. since Trump took office and that non-Mexican citizens were among those deported. That’s a reversal from Sheinbaum’s position last Friday, when her administration refused to allow a U.S. deportation flight to land in Mexico. On Monday, President Sheinbaum said Central American nations could soon reach similar agreements with the U.S. to accept deportees from other countries.

President Claudia Sheinbaum: “We’re in a permanent dialogue, as they are with Central American countries. So it’s not that we already have a fully defined coordination, but we’re in dialogue, which is fundamental and very important.”
