Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Mexico is experiencing a significant increase in the repatriation of its citizens from the United States, as the U.S. government intensifies its deportation efforts. President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that in recent weeks, the number of Mexican nationals returned via flights has risen sharply, with arrivals concentrated in southern cities such as Villahermosa and Tapachula, as well as at the Felipe Ángeles International Airport near Mexico City.
Since the beginning of U.S. President Donald Trump’s current term, the United States has deported 37,471 Mexican citizens and 5,511 migrants of other nationalities to Mexico. This uptick reflects the Trump administration’s broader strategy to escalate deportations across the region, often utilizing military aircraft for transportation.
President Sheinbaum has expressed concern over these developments, emphasizing the need for coordination and respect for national sovereignty. She has also highlighted the importance of supporting repatriated individuals through initiatives like “México te Abraza,” which aims to provide resources and assistance to those returning to the country.
The Mexican government continues to monitor the situation closely, seeking to balance humanitarian responsibilities with the challenges posed by the increased number of deportations.
