GUATEMALA CITY — In the first part of 2023, approximately 2,300 Mexicans were deported from the United States to Guatemala, according to the Guatemalan government. This practice, aimed at discouraging migration, has drawn criticism from Mexico. President Bernardo Arevalo revealed that these individuals are transferred to their homeland within 24 hours, with the expense covered by Mexico or the U.S. Mexico's foreign ministry expressed opposition to this policy and is endeavoring to repatriate its citizens deported to Central America, though they did not disclose specific numbers or expenses.
The Mexican government has notified U.S. authorities of their disapproval of this approach. A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department declined to comment on why Mexican citizens are being deported to another country, reiterating their commitment to current immigration policies. Enforcing the Trump administration's immigration policies is a top priority for the U.S.
