Report: Trump Administration Deported 13K to Mexico
HRW said most deportees were older Cubans with no chance to contest removal and little access to shelter, health care or asylum in Mexico.
- On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch released a report documenting that U.S. authorities deported nearly 13,000 non-Mexican nationals to Mexico between January 2025 and March 2026, with 4,353 Cubans comprising the largest group under an undisclosed agreement.
- President Donald Trump's administration expanded immigration enforcement to execute a mass deportation plan, targeting long-term residents and older adults who were not previously prioritized for removal under prior administrations.
- Human Rights Watch documented that none of the 53 interviewed deportees received a court hearing to challenge their removal to Mexico, while many reported facing "inhumane conditions" in U.S. detention centers during their confinement.
- Stranded in southern Mexican cities including Tapachula and Villahermosa, deportees lack documents, money, and medical care, leaving them trapped in a "permanent state of legal limbo" vulnerable to cartel violence.
- Human Rights Watch urged the U.S. to suspend third-country deportations and guarantee due process, while calling on both nations to publish the undisclosed transfer agreement to ensure transparency and accountability.
