Mexican State Stopped Taking Back Migrants After Biden Inauguration
"Migrants Surrender to U.S. Border Patrol" (United States government work) by U.S. Customs and Border Protection
This week, the acting head of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) stated that a Mexican state stopped taking families and small children back in, just a few days into the Biden administration. Accordingly, this move contributed to the release of families into the United States by the Biden administration.
Since Biden took office, the administration has been dealing with a massive surge of migrants crossing the border. In the month of April alone, there were over 178,000 encounters were recorded. This is an increase from the existing high number of encounters in March and February.
However, the Biden administration defended that they have in fact been expelling migrant families and single adults under the Trump-era Title 42; they also repeatedly mentioned that they were not able to expel families with children under 7 years of age due to the refusal of Mexican officials to take them.
