According to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, the United States repatriated 5,282 migrants to Mexico during the first seven days following President Donald Trump’s inauguration. During a Thursday morning press briefing, Sheinbaum told reporters that less than 4,500 returnees were Mexican nationals.
Sheinbaum, the country’s first female president, spoke to reporters from Mexico’s National Palace about several immigration issues. She provided statistics regarding repatriations to Mexico during the first week after President Trump took office. According to Sheinbaum, nearly 500 migrants were repatriated to Mexico on January 28; however, she did not provide the number of migrants not of Mexican origin. In total, almost 6,000 migrants were returned over eight days post-inauguration.
The return of nationals outside of Mexico into her country marks the first time since the Biden administration ended the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” program. As reported by Breitbart Texas, Border Patrol agents along the southwest border began repatriating migrants from other than Mexican countries almost immediately after President Trump took office.
