Mexico has refused a request from President Donald Trump’s administration to allow a U.S. military aircraft deporting migrants to land in the country, a U.S. official and a Mexican official told Reuters.
U.S. military aircraft carried out two similar flights, each with about 80 migrants, to Guatemala on Friday. The government was not able to move ahead with a plan to have a C-17 transport aircraft land in Mexico, however, after the country denied permission.
The Mexican official did not give a reason for the denial of permission to land, while the foreign ministry did not mention the incident.
Next time they’ll just give ppl parachute and say so long.

Sure, ‘about 80’, those are only human lives you’re talking about, what’s one or two give or take? /s
Meanwhile, a defense official said there were two flights overnight. Both went to Guatemala, according to two sources, and carried 81 deportees. However, a Guatemalan official said 79 Guatemalans had been returned, 31 women and 48 men.

The pushed two of them out of the airplane
Expected, next comes the ‘holding camps’ while they figure out what to do next, which is slave labor camps like the US treats its prisoners.
What a smol weiner move on Dump’s side. He can’t handle his own immigrants so he send them elsewhere. Is he weak or is he even weaker?
Let the God fucking guard those poor souls who got caught in the crossfire. They don’t deserve being so dependent on who is chosen a president by a country they aren’t even citizens of. Getting sent back to wherever after living, working in the US, is fucking cruel.
Won’t those immigrants will just at the end decide to go back by themselves (if they are allowed to)? Because being in a prison is maybe worse than going back to their country?
It’s different, probably worse. Despite the propaganda, immigrants are usually selfless and their family rely on them. For the most part the scary bit is not prison, but knowing their family may starve or that they won’t see them again.
Mexico could also have refused the transport because citizenship of the detainees could not be verified.
I mean you almost know that Trump and his syncophants don’t give a fuck who they send where … they just want them gone.
I expect some of the illegal immigrants to lie about their country of origin. If you are from Venezuela, why would you say you are from there and get sent back, when you can say you are Mexican and ICE can’t say otherwise, so you get sent to Mexico where things are better than Venezuela.
This is exactly what I expected- countries will not take them back.
And for all the people who claim there will be no concentration camps, what do you think they will do with all of the people they are planning to deport who’s countries won’t take them back? The plan is to deport 20 million people. Even 1% of that number who’s countries refuse to take them back would require a concentration camp. Even 0.1%. Even if the plan was to put those people in prison, we do not have enough beds in prisons.
Iirc the (original) Nazis didn’t resort to camps first either. It’s painfully obvious where this is all going
You’re exactly right. It did not start with the camps.
It started with mass deportations of a villainized population.
Brazil took them back. I read they also got their first batch, a few hundred.
This is crazy.
These flights cost a bundle. Maybe Elon “Sieg Heil” Musk should step in and DOGE-stop them, because clearly they’re not cost-effective.
Everything they plan to do costs a bundle. Even just renaming the Gulf of Mexico will cost millions, if not billions, because of all the signs that need to be replaced, official maps redrawn, laws redrafted, etc.
And guess who will just so happen to run companies getting these contracts? It’s all a way to hand tax dollars to his donors, and his oligarchs doing him favors.
Look at you being all sensible early on a Saturday morning. Grifters gonna grift.
Excellent. Resist.
