Since Donald Trump resumed the presidency of the United States of America (USA) on January 20, the Mexican government has registered the deportation of almost 11 thousand immigrants sent back to Mexico.
The information was confirmed by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum this Friday (7).

Mexico-US Agreement: Reinforced Border
Earlier in the week, sheinbaum reached an agreement with Donald Trump to avoid the imposition of trade tariffs that the United States planned to apply to Mexican products.
In return, Mexico agreed to reinforce its border with thousands of National Guard agents, with the aim of containing the flow of illegal immigrants trying to cross into the United States.
Thousands of Mexican soldiers on the border
As part of the commitment made, the Mexican government sent approximately 10 soldiers to the border region.
The troops are concentrated at points considered strategic for illegal immigration, drug and arms trafficking, such as the states of Baja California, Sonora and Tamaulipas.
Mexican authorities say the move is essential to curb illegal trafficking in the region and maintain stable trade relations with the United States.
However, analysts warn that the heavy troop presence on the border could leave other areas of Mexico vulnerable to violence and organized crime.
The redeployment of troops raises concerns about the country's internal security.
Repatriation and humanitarian issues
A Mexican president He also highlighted that many deported immigrants are being repatriated to their countries of origin, such as Honduras.
According to Sheinbaum, the process has been conducted voluntarily, with air and ground transportation provided by the Mexican government.
“It is voluntary. We will accompany them so that they can return to their countries safely,” said the president.
Political and economic impacts
Trump's immigration policy has generated debates in both the United States and Mexico.
For experts, maintaining the agreement between the two countries avoids a commercial war which could put the Mexican economy into recession and raise the prices of Mexican products on the American market, such as cars and trucks.
At the same time, the intensification of deportations and the reinforcement of border security bring a new chapter to the relationship between the two countries, with Mexico playing a fundamental role in the strategy of containing undocumented immigration.
The unfolding of these measures will continue to be closely monitored as Trump implements his border security policy and Mexico seeks to maintain economic and diplomatic stability.
