President Donald Trump’s plans to seal the U.S.-Mexico border and conduct mass deportations might soon run into a major roadblock: Mexico and the countries where the immigrants come from might not accept some of them back.
Trump on Monday signed an order to revive of the “Remain in Mexico” policy, which requires asylum-seekers to stay outside the United States as their claims are processed. But on the front lines of the U.S.-Mexico border, that requires a degree of cooperation from the Mexican government, which appears resistant.
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters Wednesday she has not agreed to accept non-Mexican migrants seeking asylum in the United States, and such a move would require Mexico to agree, according to report in Reuters.
