Mexico has expressed its full readiness to work closely with the United States regarding the repatriation of Mexican citizens, underlining its commitment to receiving them with openness and support. On Friday, the Mexican Foreign Ministry issued a statement reinforcing that the country will continue to welcome its citizens back to Mexican soil with "open arms," regardless of the challenges associated with large-scale deportations.
This declaration follows a significant development reported by the White House press secretary on X (formerly Twitter), who revealed that Mexico had accepted a record number of deportation flights in one day—four flights on Thursday. This marks an important moment in U.S.-Mexico immigration relations, highlighting the scale at which deportations are taking place.
The statement from Mexico’s Foreign Ministry further underscored the nation's preparedness to assist its repatriated citizens by facilitating their safe return and reintegration into Mexican society. The ministry emphasized that these efforts align with Mexico's broader commitment to human rights and supporting citizens abroad, including those who face deportation under U.S. immigration policies.
The cooperation comes at a time of heightened U.S. deportation activity, particularly under the administration of President Donald Trump, which has been actively involved in reducing the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. This coordinated approach is aimed at addressing the growing immigration pressures between the two nations while ensuring that deported individuals are treated with respect and given necessary resources upon their return to Mexico.
In summary, Mexico's response to the increased number of deportations reflects its willingness to support its citizens in the face of complex immigration dynamics, while also ensuring continued diplomatic collaboration with the United States.
