MEXICO CITY — Mexico will not object to President Trump’s plan to force asylum seekers detained at the southwest border to wait in Mexico until their cases are heard in U.S. immigration courts, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Tuesday.
The president freed the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, disparaged California firefighters and welcomed the members of a new American oligarchy to Washington.
Along the California-Mexico border, immigrants at risk of deportation are seeking to live undetected through an unprecedented crackdown. But a returning President Trump issued a barrage of Inauguration Day executive orders designed to pull the military into border enforcement.
After the inauguration of Donald Trump, his 2024 Democratic opponent and the first woman VP headed back to California on a Boeing C-32 flown by an all-female crew—marking a military first.
All the living former presidents were there and the outgoing president amicably greeted his successor, who gave a speech about the country’s bright future and who left to the blare of a brass band.
The interim appointments, two in New York and one in Washington, signaled a break from past practice that reflects the importance of frontline prosecutors to the administration’s plans.
Wiser about the use of power, the newly sworn-in president suggests that this time he will not take no for an answer, whether in enacting an ambitious domestic agenda or in his expansionist worldview.
