Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has changed her mind and appears open to the idea of accepting immigrants from other countries who are expected to be expelled by the Trump administration later this month.
At his daily press conference Friday, Sheinbaum argued that Mexico and the U.S. can work together on cases that deport migrants to Mexico instead of returning them to their countries of origin. The Mexican politician said Mexico could accept migrants from certain countries or ask the United States for compensation to send them back to their home countries.
At the press conference, Sheinbaum insisted that Mexico has plans to take in the newly deported migrants, suggesting the details still need to be worked out with the United States, the Associated Press reported. reported. These new claims directly contradict previous statements by Mexico's president, who has publicly vowed to oppose the Trump administration and fight an expected increase in deportations.
US President Donald J. Trump has claimed that his government will deport large numbers of immigrants once he takes office. As Breitbart Texas reported, the Sheinbaum administration is preparing border cities and states to take in newly deported Mexican nationals. However, Mexico's president has previously insisted that his government does not accept immigrants from other countries.
