Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed two deportees from the U.S. are claiming to have suffered human rights violations while on their way to Mexico. Sheinbaum, who has sparred with her U.S. counterpart Donald Trump over immigration matters, says she has submitted a complaint to Mexico's Foreign Affairs Ministry to review the case.

Sheinbaum said during daily press conference that two migrants, a Mexican man and a Guatemalan woman who arrived in Mexico on the latest deportation flights, had been mistreated by U.S. officials. She didn't specify exactly what type of abuse they endured.
