White House announces closure of border with Mexico and start of deportations

Information regarding the complete closure of border crossings from the Mexican side has appeared on the official White House website.

Tightening of migration policy

Simultaneously, US immigration and customs services have launched large-scale operations to detain illegal migrants within the country. The main objective of these measures is to accelerate the deportation of individuals present in the country illegally.

Context of the situation

The border closure and the commencement of deportations reflect the tightening of US migration policy amid a growing flow of migrants at the southern border. This measure is aimed at reducing the strain on border regions and restoring control over entry into the country.

To monitor the situation, thousands of US military personnel have been deployed to the border.
