US President Joe Biden and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador have announced a collaborative initiative to strengthen efforts against illegal migration. This initiative includes heightened enforcement and an increase in deportation flights aimed at reducing unlawful border crossings. The announcement comes as both leaders directed their national security aides to implement effective measures promptly.

The United States and Mexico plan to intensify enforcement against illegal migration by targeting major transportation methods used by migrants. Additionally, there will be a rise in repatriation flights to facilitate the return of migrants to their home countries. This agreement aligns with President Biden’s ongoing consideration of executive actions to further restrict the inflow of migrants at the southern US border.

The collaborative effort represents both countries’ commitment to managing migration issues effectively. Notably, President López Obrador commended a recent US Supreme Court decision that supports Border Patrol agents in their operational duties along the border.
