Mexico refused to accept a plane carrying deported migrants from the U.S.

Mexico refused to accept the plane with deported migrants from the United States. This was reported by NBC News on Saturday, January 25, citing a representative of the U.S. Department of Defense.

According to the TV channel, on Thursday evening two aircraft of the US Air Force C-17 took about 80 people to Guatemala. However, the third flight was blocked by the Mexican side.

The publication notes that the reason for this decision is not clear, but a White House spokesman said that "the problem with the flights was an administrative one" and was quickly fixed.

The first American planes with migrants arrived in Guatemala the day before, January 24. On board the aircraft were 48 men, 31 women and one unaccompanied teenager. All of them were registered and will be provided with food, clothing, and psychological care.

On the same day, US President Donald Trump said that the deportation of illegal migrants from the country was going well. The American leader noted that first of all criminals are expelled from the country.

Earlier, on January 23, FoxNews reported that in the first days of Trump's presidency, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained more than 460 illegal migrants, including those with convictions for sexual and domestic violence, as well as drug and weapons offenses.

On Jan. 22, Trump restricted the right of undocumented migrants who entered the U.S. through the southern border to remain in the country under the guise of asylum. He instructed the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice and the State Department to take all necessary measures to immediately repel, repatriate and remove illegal immigrants across the country's southern border.
