The U.S. and Mexico announced today that they have resumed their Interior Repatriation Initiative, an agreement facilitating the deportation of Mexican nationals who have crossed illegally into the U.S.
The goal is to return Mexican deportees to the interior of Mexico and keep them far from the border. A flight carrying 133 deportees flew today to Mexico City where "the government of Mexico will provide additional transportation to their cities of origin," according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement statement.
