Mexico refused to accept flight with deported migrants from the USA.

The government of Mexico rejected the request of the administration of US President Donald Trump to land a military plane carrying deported migrants on its territory. This information was confirmed by representatives of both countries.

According to reports, US military planes made two flights from Guatemala, with nearly 80 migrants on board each. However, Mexico did not grant permission for the C-17 transport plane to land on its territory. The reason for this decision is not yet known.

Previously, US authorities conducted operations to arrest and deport hundreds of 'illegal immigrants'. A total of 538 migrants were arrested, and hundreds of them were deported within just a few days of Trump’s second term.

It was also reported that Mexican authorities began constructing tents in Ciudad Juarez in preparation for a possible mass deportation of Mexicans according to Trump's executive order.

Thus, relations between the USA and Mexico have become notably tense since the beginning of Trump’s second term when he declared a state of emergency at the border with Mexico and ordered additional troops to the border. He also designated Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations and renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the American Gulf, as well as threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Mexican goods.
