GUATEMALA CITY — During the current year, approximately 2,300 Mexicans have been deported from the United States to Guatemala, as reported by the Guatemalan government. This practice, which aims to discourage migration, has drawn criticism from Mexico. President Bernardo Arevalo disclosed in a televised interview that these Mexican deportees are transported to Guatemala in Guatemalan government planes and are resettled within 24 hours, with the costs covered by either Mexico or the United States.
Mexico's foreign ministry has expressed opposition to this procedure and is actively attempting to repatriate citizens who have been deported to Central America, though they have not provided specific figures on the number of cases or associated costs. The Mexican government has notified U.S. authorities of their disagreement with this approach.
However, a spokesperson for the U.S. State Department declined to comment on the reasons behind Mexicans being deported to another country, reaffirming the administration's dedication to current immigration policies.
