In an unprecedented transatlantic air transport deportation this month ( October 2019) Mexico deported 310 Indian nationals to New Delhi according to the National Migration Institute (INM).
INM said the deportees had been scattered in eight states around Mexico, including in southern Mexico from where many Indian migrants enter the country, hoping to transit to the U.S. border.
The move follows a deal Mexico struck with the United States in June, vowing to significantly curb U.S.-bound migration in exchange for averting U.S. tariffs on Mexican exports.
Most of the deportees were from India’s northern Punjab state.
