Trump's Deportation Crisis

U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration policies have led to thousands of deportations to Mexico.
Deportees, often from Cuba, Venezuela, and Haiti, are sent to Villahermosa with limited resources and legal support.
Human rights advocates say Mexico fails to inform deportees of asylum rights and violates non-refoulement.
The result is a vulnerable population with inadequate shelter, services, and growing hopelessness.
