America Commences Return Of Migrant Families Into Mexico

Nearly 200 Mexican and Central American family members were expelled deep into Mexico on Thursday by the U.S in an effort to deter migration by bolstering a COVID-era expulsion policy at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The flights, aim to disrupt a pattern of repeat crossings under a U.S. border policy known as Title 42.

Flying of migrants into southern mexico was done under former U.S president Donald Trump, where some Mexican migrants caught at the U.S.-Mexico border were flown to southern Mexico. This is the strategy adopted by the Biden administration under the Title 42 order.

A source familiar with the matter revealed that the United States will work with non-governmental organizations and shelters in southern Mexico to ensure that migrants can safely return to their home countries.

The Biden administration also announced last week that it would subject migrant families to a fast-track deportation process known as “expedited removal” to their home countries from U.S. detention centers.

Pro-migration groups have resumed litigation that aims to stop the Biden administration from expelling families under Title 42, which the administration renewed that day.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), one of the groups challenging Title 42, has argued that the policy denies migrants a legal right to claim asylum and returns them to situations of grave danger in Mexico.

“The Biden administration is apparently looking for new ways to expel people and in the process subject these desperate migrants to additional trauma,”
