President Claudia Sheinbaum's Friday mañanera addressed Mexico's relationship with the United States, focusing on two key issues: deportations of Mexicans from the US and visa revocations of Mexican officials. According to the INM, 271,193 Mexicans were repatriated from the US between January 2025 and August 2026, with 80% of those arrivals landing in Villahermosa or Tapachula.
Nearly 9% of deportees originated from Chiapas. Sheinbaum emphasized that the US revoking visas of Mexican officials, including AMLO's son López Beltrán and Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila, has "political meaning" and is not consistent with how the US applies standards across Latin America. She reiterated that Mexico won't shield anyone who committed a crime but also won't investigate solely because of a visa revocation.
