Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has announced that his country is in discussions with the United States to establish an agreement that would see asylum-seekers and migrants deported directly to their countries of origin instead of being processed in Mexico.
This development follows US President Joe Biden's recent executive action, which aims to prevent individuals from requesting asylum if they cross the US-Mexico border illegally during periods of high illegal crossings. Under the new policy, unless they meet specific exemptions, asylum-seekers would be either turned away to Mexico or sent back to their home countries.
