Claudia Sheinbaum, the President of Mexico, stated on Friday, February 8, that Mexico has accepted nearly 11,000 illegal migrants who were deported from the United States since Donald Trump returned to the White House. She noted that this figure includes about 2,500 non-Mexican migrants. Earlier in the week, Sheinbaum reached an agreement with Trump to halt Washington's tariffs on Mexican exports in exchange for the deployment of thousands of the country's National Guard police at Mexico's northern border with the United States. This action is part of efforts to reduce the flow of illegal migrants into the U.S. During a press conference, Sheinbaum mentioned that Mexico has returned the deported migrants to Honduras via air and ground transportation. She emphasized that the transfer of these individuals is not mandatory, and these non-Mexican citizens are voluntarily returning to their countries.
