Mexico to Deny Entry to Migrants Deported From Texas Under New SB4 Law - Foreign Ministry

The Mexican government does not intend to accept its citizens who will undergo repatriation from Texas under the US state's new SB4 legislation, the Mexican Foreign Affairs Secretariat said on Wednesday.

"Mexico reiterates its legitimate right to protect the rights of its nationals in the United States and to determine its own policies regarding entry into its territory. Mexico recognizes the importance of a uniform migration policy and the bilateral efforts with the United States to ensure that migration is safe, orderly and respectful of human rights, and is not affected by state or local legislative decisions. In this regard, Mexico will not accept, under any circumstances, repatriations by the State of Texas," the ministry said in a statement published while the law was briefly in effect.
