Mexico has received nearly 39,000 immigrants deported from the United States since the beginning of US President Donald Trump's administration. Of these, 33,000 are Mexican. This was announced at a press conference by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, quoted by "Reuters".
Sheinbaum recalled that Mexico decided to accept non-Mexicans deported from the United States for "humanitarian reasons", but only a few thousand people have been sent to Mexico since the end of January.
"Fewer and fewer people are arriving from other countries because the US government has agreements with practically all countries," Sheinbaum said.
The country has accepted fewer people deported from the United States since Trump took office than during the same period last year, when former US President Joe Biden was in office.
Mexico accepted about 52,000 immigrants deported from the United States in February, March and April of last year, according to Mexican data.
The decline is due to fewer migrants crossing the US border.
Since Trump imposed his strict immigration policy, migrants in Latin America have been refusing to enter the US and returning to their home countries.
