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.
Doh, really?
Mexico isn’t allowing airplanes full of random people frok various different countries to be dumped in their country? Wonder why.
But no worries, trump will threaten either with economic ruin or full oninvasion, as he has already done multiple times with both Canada and Mexico.
Both Canada and Mexico shouldn’t budge, and aren’t, so far, but I think everyone here should brace for some real shit…
On a side note, if the US decides to send in military to Mexico, let’s just say that certain groups in Mexico have been trained and armed by the US military, and also have trained in various method of getting messages across. Expect US military to be found hanging from bridges. Talk about your strange bedfellows in times of darkness.
Here come the internment camps.
A US invasion of Mexico would be a disaster. It would be Vietnam all over again.
Viva Mexico.
Not that Mexico has any obligation to cooperate with Trump, but I don’t like where this is going.
It’s going towards trump saying he’s gonna invade Mexico…just wait
What’s next? Rename New Mexico? Oh how about the Capital District of CoLuMbiA!?!? Wait the United States is just one country among many in just one of the American continents. Why not call it the Gulf of the Americas?
These flights cost a bundle. Maybe Elon “Sieg Heil” Musk should step in and DOGE-stop them, because clearly they’re not cost-effective.
The Nazis became more “efficient” after they started with mass deportation too.
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.
Concentration camps
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.
They are all Mexicans.

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.
Because, believe it or not, we can tell each other apart and we know when someone is not Mexican….
That’s some high level racism. Do they use phrenology?
In my experience we can often tell roughly where someone is from going only by speech and use of slang. While I can only speak for a Mexican perspective, I imagine the same is true for people from most of the Latin American countries, and I imagine the same could be said for people from different states in the US of A. No idea if that’s what they meant, but it’s not necessarily based on racism.
Excellent. Resist.
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.

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.

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.
Next time they’ll just give ppl parachute and say so long.
