THE GUARDIAN: Mexican president said citizens held at controversial Florida immigration jail ‘should be repatriated immediately’
Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has said that the country is demanding the repatriation of at least 30 of its citizens currently being held in the controversial Florida immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz”.
The Mexican leader said on Wednesday that a note had been sent to US authorities “demanding that any Mexicans who might enter this detention center should be repatriated immediately”.
Sheinbaum added: “They have no reason to enter these detention centers. Within the framework of the United States’ own laws, what we seek is for them to return to our country immediately and not be detained in this manner.” » | Oscar Lopez in Mexico City | Wednesday, July 30, 2025
