Mexico Denies U.S. Military Deportation Flight Request Amid Tense Relations
Mexico refused President Trump's request to allow U.S. military deportation flights to land in the country. Despite similar flights to Guatemala, Mexico denied permission for a C-17 aircraft. Tensions between the countries escalate as Trump enforces strict immigration measures and Mexico seeks diplomatic solutions.

Mexico has denied a request from President Trump's administration to permit U.S. military aircraft deporting migrants to land in the country. The decision was confirmed by both U.S. and Mexican officials, highlighting a complex diplomatic situation as U.S. military planes conducted similar operations to Guatemala.
The situation comes as President Trump declares a national emergency along the U.S.-Mexico border, deploying additional troops and intensifying immigration policies. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has urged caution, opposing mass deportations and emphasizing the significance of Mexican immigrants to the U.S. economy.
This rejection marks a notable moment in U.S.-Mexico relations, as the Pentagon plans to use military flights for deportations for the first time. While Guatemala accommodated additional deportation flights, Mexico's refusal signals diplomatic tensions that may affect future bilateral engagements.
