MEXICO BLOCKS PACKED ILLEGAL MIGRANT DEPORTATION FLIGHT FROM LANDING

Share

Following the start of Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, Mexican officials reportedly prevented a US military aircraft from deporting illegal migrants.

After Authorities South Of The Border Opposed The Maneuver, American Officials Informed NBC News That A Packed Jet Never Took Off.


Along With Two Air Force C-17s Headed To Guatemala That Were Carrying More Than 150 Passengers, The Flight Was One Of Three Scheduled To Depart On Thursday As Part Of What Trump Has Called The Greatest Mass Deportation Operation In US History.

Although The Reason Behind Mexico's Aircraft Restriction Was Not Immediately Apparent, Tensions Between The United States And Mexico Longtime Allies And Neighbors Have Increased Since President Donald Trump Won The Election In November. Trump Has Threatened To Impose 25% Universal Taxes On Mexico In Punishment For Migrants Who Cross Their Shared Border.

A White House Official in A Statement said  that “the flights thing was an administrative issue and was quickly rectified.”

Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not go into detail on why the U.S. plane was not allowed to land in the country.

 

“Mexico has a very good relationship with the United States government and we cooperate with respect for our sovereignty on a wide range of issues, including migration," the statement read. "When it comes to repatriations, we will always welcome the arrival of Mexicans to our territory with open arms. Mexico embraces you.”
