The article reports that nearly 46,000 migrants were deported from the United States under the Trump administration, representing almost 47% of the total 97,950 deportations during the period covered in the article. Among these, 37,471 were Mexican citizens and 5,511 were of other nationalities. These statistics are presented by Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the mayor of Mexico City, during a press conference.
The Mexican government has established 10 support centers where 14,300 of those deported have received assistance. However, the article highlights that not all deportees accept aid. The assistance includes providing basic necessities and support to facilitate the return of the deportees to their communities. The article notes the Mexican government's efforts to refute accusations of militarization of immigration policy. They argue that the use of the National Guard involves personnel with public safety roles rather than exclusively military personnel.
The article also notes a restructuring of the National Immigration Institute (INM), initiated after a leadership change. This includes a comprehensive review of the INM's functions and structure, aimed at improving its capacity to handle migration issues. The review includes considering ways to divide the INM into areas with specific responsibilities, improving efficiency, and ensuring the protection of human rights.
