Mexico refuses US military flight deporting migrants, sources say

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.

This is exactly what I expected- countries will not take them back.
And for all the people who claim there will be no concentration camps, what do you think they will do with all of the people they are planning to deport who's countries won't take them back? The plan is to deport 20 million people. Even 1% of that number who's countries refuse to take them back would require a concentration camp. Even 0.1%. Even if the plan was to put those people in prison, we do not have enough beds in prisons.
- Iirc the (original) Nazis didn't resort to camps first either. It's painfully obvious where this is all going
  
  You're exactly right. It did not start with the camps.
- Brazil took them back. I read they also got their first batch, a few hundred.
  This is crazy.
- will not take them back
  Because half the people in those airplanes are not even Mexican citizens, they mag be from any Latin American country. It's literally the US dumping it's problems into Mexico, of course they don't allow any of that. That is also ignoring the humanitarian disaster that the US is generating and which Mexico would like to have no part in.

These flights cost a bundle. Maybe Elon "Sieg Heil" Musk should step in and DOGE-stop them, because clearly they're not cost-effective.
- Everything they plan to do costs a bundle. Even just renaming the Gulf of Mexico will cost millions, if not billions, because of all the signs that need to be replaced, official maps redrawn, laws redrafted, etc.
  
  And guess who will just so happen to run companies getting these contracts? It's all a way to hand tax dollars to his donors, and his oligarchs doing him favors.
- 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.
- 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….
- They are all Mexicans.
  MAGA

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.

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.

Here come the internment camps.

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.

- The pushed two of them out of the airplane

A US invasion of Mexico would be a disaster. It would be Vietnam all over again.

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

Viva Mexico.

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.

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?
