According to President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, in the first 100 days of the U.S. Trump administration, there were nearly 39,000 deported from the U.S. to Mexico. Of that, nearly 33,000 of them were Mexicans.
From Fox News: “Mexico has received nearly 39,000 deportees from the United States in the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s administration, according to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. More than 33,000 of the deported immigrants were Mexican nationals, Sheinbaum said on Tuesday [April 29] during her regular morning press conference.”
More from Fox: ” ‘Since President Trump’s administration began, 38,757 have been deported [from the U.S. to Mexico], of which 33,311 are Mexicans and 5,446 are foreigners,’ Sheinbaum said. ‘The majority of people who are returning to Mexico are Mexicans, because the U.S. government, through the Department of State, has agreements for them to return directly to their countries,’ Sheinbaum continued.”
“For ‘humanitarian reasons,’ Mexico has ‘decided to accept people of other nationalities, particularly those who come from the northern border ‘ by land, the Mexican president said. Fewer deportees of other nationalities were arriving in Mexico because the U.S. government has agreements with ‘practically all of those countries, and so they send the planes directly to the countries where they are citizens,’ Sheinbaum said.”
“The Mexican president said most of the Mexicans were flown from the U.S. and that the majority of the foreigners accepted back into Mexico have since ‘voluntarily’ chosen to return to their home countries.”
“Mexican data shows that Mexico accepted approximately 52,000 deportees from the U.S. in February, March and April of last year, according to Reuters. Mexico, therefore, accepted fewer deportees from the U.S. from the start of Trump’s second term compared to the same time period last year under former President Joe Biden’s administration.”
“U.S.-Mexico border crossings have slowed under the Trump administration, as migrants – deterred by Trump’s promised border crackdown and mass deportation plans – have increasingly abandoned their journeys north through Mexico and returned home, according to Reuters.“
