Mexico rejects US decision to deport Mexicans to Central America: Friday’s mañanera recapped

On a recent Friday, Mexico's Interior Minister Rosa Icela Rodríguez and the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) chief Joel Omar Vázquez Herrera held a press conference while President Claudia Sheinbaum rested at home due to severe flu symptoms. Vázquez announced a significant archaeological find in the Chiapas cave known as the Mundo Zoque, where 13 offerings and 179 pre-Hispanic objects were discovered, including ceramics from the late Classic Period (600–900 AD) and an incense burner with a quincunx design.

The interior minister also revealed that Mexico disagreed with the U.S. decision to deport some Mexican citizens to Central American countries instead of Mexico. Rodríguez met with U.S. Ambassador Ronald Johnson and expressed her disagreement with sending deportees to third countries, emphasizing Mexico's commitment to its citizens being returned.

Sheinbaum's press conference highlighted the archaeological discoveries and positive economic growth in July, with the Mexican economy growing by 2.7% annually, following a 2.1% increase in Q2.
