The second Trump administration has made widespread use of deporting migrants to places other than their home countries. A recent report shows how it is expanding the approach.
The federal government has been deporting Mexican nationals to Guatemala and Honduras, CBS News reported Tuesday, even though Mexico is willing to accept its own citizens. "The Government of Mexico accepts the return of all its nationals. It therefore rejects the deportation of Mexican nationals to third countries and has no such agreement in place," the foreign ministry said in a statement. "Mexico consistently takes the steps necessary to ensure the safe and dignified return of all its nationals to national territory."
