Haitian migrants sent back from Mexico
Mexico has sent 70 Haitian migrants back to their country describing it as a “voluntary return” flight
This comes days after the U.S. cleared thousands of Haitian migrants from a camp at the Mexican border in Texas.
Mexico’s interior and foreign ministries says the “first group” of migrants were moved due to an agreement between Mexican and Haitian authorities.
An increase in Haitian migrants reaching the U-S through Mexico’s border has allegedly prompted the move.
Just this month, about 30 thousand migrants were encountered at this Mexico – U-S border within two weeks.
About 8 thousand of these migrants have been sent back to Mexico where they have been advised to apply for asylum in southern Mexico.
