Spike in Mexican Repatriations Amid U.S. Deportation Surge
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum reported an increase in Mexican citizen repatriations from the U.S., primarily by air. The uptick comes as the U.S. escalates deportations of migrants. Since President Trump's term began, over 37,000 Mexicans and 5,500 other migrants have been deported to Mexico.
In recent weeks, the number of Mexican citizens being repatriated from the United States has surged, with many returning by flights. This development was shared by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Thursday, amidst a backdrop of accelerated deportations of migrants by the U.S. government.
Since the onset of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, 37,471 Mexicans and 5,511 migrants of other nationalities have been deported. President Sheinbaum highlighted these figures during a routine press conference, underlining the recent spike in repatriations.
The uptick in returning citizens is largely directed to southern Mexican cities such as Villahermosa and Tapachula, as well as the Felipe Angeles airport near Mexico City, reflecting a broader trend of increased migration-related activity.
