MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's government sent a diplomatic note to the United States seeking to prevent Mexicans from being sent to the naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday.
The note was sent when Donald Trump's administration announced its plans to transfer migrants to Guantanamo Bay, a U.S. naval base on the Caribbean island, last month.
Mexico also requested that all its nationals that are being deported from the United States to be sent to Mexico and not to other countries, Sheinbaum added during her daily press conference.
"No Mexican should be sent to any other place but Mexico," Sheinbaum said.
Sheinbaum's comments come after the Trump administration deported to El Salvador over 200 alleged members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang over the weekend, despite a court order forbidding it to do so.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which has opposed the deportations to El Salvador, has also sought to block migrants transfers to Guantanamo Bay citing harsh conditions and suicide attempts among migrants held there.
