Ninety-four deported migrants arrived Friday in Mexico’s capital on the first flight of a renewed U.S. repatriation program aimed at discouraging repeated border-crossers in desert areas during the hot summer months.
The twice-daily flights are expected to bring thousands of Mexicans caught crossing illegally in the Arizona desert back to their hometowns.
Greeted upon landing by the government’s Grupo Beta migrant-aid agency, the deportees were given box lunches and free bus tickets to their hometowns.
