Donald Trump was inaugurated President of the United States on January 20th, 2025.
A week later, on January 27th, it was reported that over 4,000 illegal aliens, mostly Mexicans, had been deported to Mexico.
According to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbum, “From January 20 to 26, 4,094 people have arrived, the vast majority of them Mexican men and women.”
President Sheinbaum sought to put it in historical context: “Something very important is that this is not new… Mexico has a significant history of repatriation and relations with the United States. Past presidents have dealt with it, and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador also did, first with the Trump administration and then with the Biden administration.”
The Mexican government has a program to receive deported Mexicans, offering them financial help and even jobs.
