Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated Thursday that U.S. deportations to Mexico have increased in recent weeks, particularly by air, but remain lower than levels recorded at the end of President Joe Biden's administration.
According to Sheinbaum, since the beginning of her term, U.S. authorities have deported 97,950 migrants to Mexico, of which nearly 47% (45,875) occurred between January and early May. Of that total, 37,471 were Mexican nationals, and 5,511 were citizens of other countries.
