Why would someone with no leverage try to do something like that to the United States, especially with President Trump at the helm?
They have to know this is not going to end well, not at all.
The only thing that will happen is they will be made an example on the world stage.
And I for one can’t wait to watch!
Go ahead Claudia, good luck to you!
By the way, how in the world did Mexico end up with a Jewish President? Seems a bit odd, no? A topic for another day, I suppose….
Here are more details from NBC News:
Mexico denied a U.S. military plane access to land Thursday, at least temporarily frustrating the Trump administration’s plans to deport immigrants to the country, according to two U.S. defense officials and a third person familiar with the situation.
Two Guatemala-bound Air Force C-17s, carrying about 80 people apiece, flew deportees out of the U.S. Thursday night, the sources said. The third flight, slotted for Mexico, never took off.
A White House spokesperson did not reply to a text message seeking comment on Mexico’s stance.
It was not immediately clear why Mexico blocked the flight, but tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, neighbors and longtime allies, have risen since President Donald Trump won the November election. Trump has threatened to slap 25% across-the-board tariffs on Mexico in retaliation for migrants crossing the border the countries share. But he has not yet put them in effect.
ADVERTISEMENTThe Mexican Embassy did not immediately return a request for comment.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government has said it opposes Trump taking “unilateral” action to implement restrictive immigration standards — including the reinstatement of a “remain in Mexico” policy that forces migrants to stay in that country while they await adjudication of asylum claims. Flying deportees into a foreign country requires the cooperation of that nation’s government, and Mexico declined to give its consent.
How do you think this will end?
