Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum seems to have revised her stance regarding the reception of migrants from other nations, especially those who are expected to face deportation by the Trump administration in the coming weeks.
In a press briefing on Friday, Sheinbaum suggested that Mexico and the United States could work together on cases where migrants are sent to Mexico instead of being sent back to their home countries. She indicated that Mexico could agree to accept migrants from specific nations or request compensation from the U.S. to return them to their places of origin.
During her press conference, Sheinbaum outlined Mexico’s preparedness to handle newly deported migrants, though she also hinted that further negotiations with the United States are necessary to finalize the details, as reported by the Associated Press. These new remarks contradict her earlier position, in which she had expressed opposition to the Trump administration’s expected surge in deportations.
U.S. President Donald Trump had previously stated that his administration would deport a significant number of migrants once in office. According to Breitbart Texas, Sheinbaum’s government is already preparing border cities and states to handle the arrival of deported Mexican nationals. However, earlier, she had firmly declared that Mexico would not accept migrants from other countries.
