Mexico city – The Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum pointed out on Tuesday
“Until now, this has not taken place,” Sheinbaum replied to her morning press conference when she was asked several times whether her nation would agree to the Pentagon aircraft that returned to the deported citizens. She refused to work out.
The White House has started to use military aircraft to transport deportees, including two Pentagon flights that flew more than 150 people to Guatemala last week.
The use of the military inlook for the use of troops with active service at the southwestern border of the United States is a cornerstone of Trump's hard-line immigration agenda. But it comes against Mexican sensitivities – reinforced by a long history of invasions and ideas in the USA – against military interventions by its northern neighbor.
It is not clear whether Pentagon Air Assets would be used to transport deportees to Mexico. Media reports in the past week that Mexico rejected a US military flight who had brought deported people were publicly confirmed by no country.
The topic of military transport has triggered alarms throughout Latin America since a diplomatic crisis at the weekend, in which an angry president Trump Zölle and other punishments on Colombia-one long-standing US allies.
After the negotiations, the White House withdrew the endangered sanctions, and Colombia said it had received the assurances of the “dignified conditions” that Petro had asked for. Petro said on social media that he had never refused to accept deportants, but would not agree to return with handcuffs and military aircraft.

The Brazilian government also condemned the “humiliating treatment” of its citizens after some deported on Saturday in the northern city of Manaus in handcuffs and legps of a non -military US aircraft in the northern city of Manaus.
The idea that huge C-17 flies over the Mexican airspace and deported deported at Mexican airports is a potential view in a country with a long memory of US invasions. The nation lost a large part of its territory in the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848.
Although Washington has not intervened militarily in Mexico for more than a century, Mexican young people are trained in the “heroic” resistance of the Mexican US campaigns against past US actions.
Many in Mexico have already burdened themselves about the risk of Trumps to use the US military against drug dealers. His executive order to describe cartels as foreign terrorist organizations is viewed by many as a prelude to direct military interventions.
Trump's threats are already a shadow on binational relationships to impose 25% tariffs on Mexican imports if the country no longer does to stop immigrants without papers and the smuggling of fentanyl. Trump stated that on Saturday he could destroy a fragile economy that could depend heavily on cross-border trade on Saturday.
Sheinbaum is under the pressure to bend Trump's demands to protect the economy, but it also has to make sure not to alienate citizens who are sensitive to the perception of minor sovereignty in Mexico.

“President Sheinbaum is in a narrow place,” said Tony Payan, who heads the center for the USA and Mexico at the Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University. “The look of military aircraft that deported back to Mexico would not be good for their nationalist basis. But it may have no choice but to accept it. “
Mexican citizens are by far the greatest citizenship among the estimated more than 11 million immigrants in the United States. In recent years, Washington has removed around 200,000 deportants to Mexico every year, mainly over the southwestern land border – but some of non -military aircraft endanger the Mexican interior. The number of deportees who have returned to Mexico is expected to increase under Trump's guidelines.
Sheinbaum has already agreed to accept Trump's re-establishment of the controversy remains in Mexican politics, which forces asylum seekers at the border-in one side-in one side-forces Central Americans and other non-Mexicans to waiting in Mexico for the decision of their cases in US immigration courts. She said Mexico would obtain financial help from Washington to reimburse the costs of repatriating from Nationals of the Third Land to her home countries.
Mexico received four deportation flights last week – but on non -military aircraft – but no significant increase in the case of recurred deported, say officials.
However, the Mexican authorities establish large new accommodations along the northern border of the country to the United States and make other preparations for the house and support the nationals and deputy citizens and citizens, which have been sent to Mexico.
