WASHINGTON — Amnesty International issued a scathing report Friday asserting that nearly 10,000 Mexican children have been expelled soon after crossing the border since President Joe Biden took office — despite his vow to end harsh Trump-era treatment of young migrants, and a legal duty to make sure they don’t face danger if they’re sent back.
Biden has halted deportation of unaccompanied children from other countries, a shift welcomed by immigrant advocates.
But Customs and Border Protection continues to turn back children from Mexico, even though many are fleeing the same sorts of violence as migrants from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador who account for a huge spike in migration in recent months — and who do not face immediate deportation.
