Mexico says it will not allow US to send Mexican migrants to Guantanamo Bay

Mexico’s foreign minister stated that Mexico will not permit the U.S. government to transfer Mexican migrants to the detention camp in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente said Mexico would rather directly receive the migrants.

The Mexican government sent a diplomatic note to the U.S. embassy in Mexico to explain its position.

The announcement follows a statement by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who mentioned on Tuesday that the Trump administration had initiated the transportation of detained illegal migrants from the U.S. to Guantánamo Bay, without disclosing the nationalities of the individuals being moved.

Last week, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel called Trump’s effort to send 30,000 migrants to Guantánamo an “act of brutality.”

“The new U.S. government’s decision to incarcerate thousands of migrants in the Guantánamo Naval Base, located in unlawfully occupied Cuban territory, alongside notorious prisons known for torture and illegal detention, is a brutal act,” read a translated post on X.
