MEXICO CITY—Mexico’s government sent 70 Haitian migrants back to Haiti on Wednesday in what it described as a “voluntary return” flight, days after the United States cleared thousands of Haitian illegal immigrants from a camp at the Mexican border in Del Rio, Texas.
Mexico’s interior and foreign ministries said in a joint statement that the “first group” of migrants— including 13 children—were flown to Port-au-Prince as part of an agreement between Mexican and Haitian authorities to manage a jump in Haitian migrants moving through Mexico to the U.S. border.
