The first deportees in the Mexican Tijuana are not from Trump’s raids, but from Biden’s

After Donald Trump assumed as president of the United States in his second term, last Monday, dozens of migrants have been deported through the border port of El Chaparral, in the Mexican city of Tijuana, border with California (USA), however, they are people who already remained in detention centers since the administration of the now former President Joe Biden (2021-2025).

This was confirmed on Wednesday by the migrants themselves who shared information with Mexican media and authorities in the state of Baja California, who assured that under Trump’s strict protocols no deportees have yet been presented.

On Tuesday afternoon, the deportation of a hundred Mexican people was documented who told the media that they were arrested in cities such as Denver, Colorado, and Las Vegas, Nevada, because of that it was thought that they could be the first deported by Trump.

But on Wednesday morning some of the deported migrants returned to the border port of El Chaparral, where the offices of the National Institute of Migration (INM) are located, and it was they themselves who assured that they had already “more than a month of detention” in the United States.

A spokesman for the INM, who asked not to identify himself, told the media that these people were part of the hundred who were deported on Tuesday afternoon, so they had returned to request the support of the institution to return to their cities of origin.

The version was confirmed this Wednesday by the secretary of government of the state of Baja California, Alfredo Álvarez, during the press conference offered by the governor, Marina del Pilar Ávila, where he explained that “what was reported is not correct, because the deportations are not derived from the decrees of the new presidency of the United States, that was a regular deportation.”

“This return of Mexicans that was presented even corresponds to the management prior to Trump’s decree, they come with us to claim their repatriation support, since they were detained before this threat arose and, to say that, since the signing of Trump’s decree, the flow of repatriates has not yet been altered.”

The official said that, for the moment, they maintain direct information with the INM, with the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the United States Consulate in Tijuana, which are informing them about the procedures that are being carried out that are not, yet, according to a Trump order.

He stressed that, despite this, the attention provided to these migrants is within the framework of “the comprehensive care given to all deported compatriots,” who are given the options to stay in the “Carmen Serdán” Integrative Center or return to their places of origin.

“The message is clear, in the sense of trying by all means that any deportation of our countrymen is done within a framework of dignity and respect for human rights, it is a message that we have also shared with the US authorities, for when Trump’s measures enter, since for them it will also imply a change of paradigms and procedures,” he said.

This Wednesday, the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, rejected the measure of President Trump, who on Tuesday gave free rein to migration raides in schools, colleges and churches in that country, previously considered “protected” places.

The decision came a day after Trump assumed power and emphasized that he will fulfill his campaign promise to carry out the largest campaign of migrant deportations in US history.

In Mexico, Trump’s mass deportations are concerned because Mexicans are about half of the 11 million undocumented in the United States and their remittances represent almost 4% of Mexico’s gross domestic product (GDP), which in 2024 received an estimated record of 65 billion dollars.

Erin brings strong winds and storm surge despite weakening offshore

Hurricane Erin weakened to a Category 2 storm on Tuesday but continues to pose a threat to parts of the U.S. East Coast with potentially dangerous flooding, according to meteorologists.

Although the hurricane’s eye is expected to remain offshore, experts are concerned about Erin’s size, as strong winds extend hundreds of kilometers beyond the storm’s center.

In its 18:00 GMT bulletin, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) lifted tropical storm warnings for the Bahamasand Turks and Caicos Islands, but kept them in effect for parts of North Carolina.

Erin was located several hundred kilometers southeast of North Carolina and was moving northwestward.

“This means there is a risk of potentially life-threatening flooding of 60 to 120 centimeters above ground level,” said NHC Director Michael Brennan.

Three U.S. Warships deploy near Venezuela to combat drug trafficking

Three U.S. naval vessels are moving toward the coasts of Venezuela, according to international media reports on Tuesday, after White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Donald Trump is ready to combat and curb international drug trafficking.

Reports indicate that the ships will reach Venezuelan waters within the next 36 hours as part of a recent U.S. deployment aimed at countering international narcotics operations.

The announcement coincides with Leavitt’s statement that Trump is prepared to “use the full extent of his power” to halt drug flows into the United States. The naval deployment involves approximately 4,000 military personnel.

“The President has been clear and consistent. He is ready to use every element of U.S. power to prevent drugs from flooding our country and to bring those responsible to justice. The Maduro regime is not the legitimate government of Venezuela—it is a narco-terror cartel,” the spokesperson said during a press conference.

Cuban authorities free salvadoran convicted in 1997 hotel bombing

Salvadoran national Otto René Rodríguez Llerena was released after serving a 30-year prison sentence for his involvement in a terrorist attack at a hotel in Cuba in 1997, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.

During his trial, Rodríguez Llerena admitted to placing an explosive device at the Meliá Cohiba Hotel under the orders of anti-Castro exile leaders. He was arrested the following year when he returned to Havana with another load of explosives that failed to detonate.

“The Cuban government reiterates its commitment to combating terrorism, respecting human rights, and the need for the international community to hold accountable those who promote such acts,” the statement read.

He was released on August 15 and is the second Salvadoran to complete his sentence. In December of last year, another Salvadoran, Ernesto Cruz León, was released after planting bombs at tourist centers, one of which killed an Italian tourist identified as Fabio Di Celmo.

A third Salvadoran, Francisco Chávez Abarca, also received a 30-year sentence from Cuban courts in 2010 after being extradited from Venezuela through Interpol for actions against Cuba.
