However, the White House has just debunked that report.
According to the White House, Mexico actually just accepted four deportation flights yesterday, as well as thousands via other types of transportation.
In other words, the NBC News report is fake news.
Take a look:

After NBC News released their report, WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted this on X in order to clarify the actual truth of the matter:
Thanks to President Trump:
Yesterday, Mexico accepted a record 4 deportation flights in 1 day!
This comes in addition to unrestricted returns at the land border, the deportation of non-Mexicans, & reinstatement of Remain-in-Mexico. Mexico has also mobilized 30K National Guard. t.co

NBC News was forced to issue this update to their story:
A White House official said in a text message that “the flights thing was an administrative issue and was quickly rectified.”
After the publication of this article, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tweeted, "Yesterday, Mexico accepted a record 4 deportation flights in 1 day!"
A White House official, however, did not clarify whether they were military, commercial or private flights.
The White House clarified that Mexico's so-called "refusal" to accept a deportation flight was actually due to administrative confusion, not unwillingness on the part of Mexico.
The New York Post confirmed:
A White House official told the outlet via text message that “the flights thing was an administrative issue and was quickly rectified.”
The flight rejection appeared to be confusion over the Department of Defense flight manifest, according to Fox News’ Bill Melugin, who cited a senior State Department official.
“Per the official, Mexico was full steam ahead to accept the deportations – and would have if there hadn’t been a misunderstanding regarding the paperwork,” he tweeted.
About 2,000 illegal migrants were deported to the country Thursday, with the nation detaining around 5,000 within its own borders, Melugin added. |
