Mexico protests U.S. deportations of citizens via third countries

third-country deportation Mexican migration Trump administration bilateral agreements Central American transit

The Mexican government has formally protested the United States' practice of deporting Mexican citizens to third countries, such as Guatemala, Honduras, and Costa Rica, rather than returning them directly to Mexico.

Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo confirmed that approximately 2,300 Mexicans have been sent to Guatemala so far in 2026. These individuals arrive on flights intended for Guatemalan returnees and are treated as transit passengers without refugee or asylum status. They are typically transferred to Mexico via bus within 24 hours of arrival.

Mexican Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez stated that while Mexico respects the migration policies of other nations, it disagrees with the triangulation of its citizens. She emphasized that existing bilateral agreements allow for direct repatriation and that sending citizens through third countries is unnecessary.

U.S. officials have indicated that these measures are part of a broader strategy to deter irregular migration by increasing the distance between deportees and the U.S.-Mexico border. The Mexican National Migration Institute confirmed that these third-country deportations have been occurring primarily since April.
