The Trump administration has reached a deal with Mexico’s incoming government under which asylum seekers will wait in Mexico while their claims are assessed by US courts, The Washington Post reported Saturday.
The deal, which would overhaul US border policy, comes with President Donald Trump outraged over the presence of thousands of Central American migrants who marched to the Mexican side of the border hoping to enter the US for a better life free from the poverty and gang violence in their homelands.
“For now, we have agreed to this policy of Remain in Mexico,” the Post quoted Olga Sanchez Cordero, Mexico’s incoming interior minister, as saying.
