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.

Arnold Schwarzenegger donates one million dollars to fight the fires in Los Angeles
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced a donation of one million dollars to fight the fires that are registered in Los Angeles, Southern California (USA).
In a post on his social networks, which are echoed this Wednesday by American media, the interpreter of ‘Terminator’ said that his donation will be distributed between the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, the California Fire Department Foundation and the Los Angeles chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
“I don’t like it when companies or the rich ask their fans to donate for them,” the actor, who was governor of California between 2003 and 2011, wrote on Instagram.
Schwarzenegger also announced the sale of T-shirts with an image of him to raise funds for those organizations.
The actor joins in this way a series of Hollywood celebrities, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyoncé or Eva Longoria, who have allocated donations to fight the fires, as well as companies such as Disney and Netflix.
This Wednesday, a new uncontrolled and rapidly advancing fire broke out in Los Angeles County, forcing the evacuation of thousands of people, after days of significant progress since a wave of devastating fires broke out that claimed the lives of at least 28 people.
The Hughes fire was declared this Wednesday morning in northern Castaic and in less than two hours swept just over 2,000 hectares (5,000 acres) driven by the strong winds that hit southern California, the California Fire Department (Cal Fire) reported in a statement.
This new fire breaks out after a week of significant progress in the containment of the historic fires that reduced entire communities of Los Angeles to ashes since January 7 and that are still active.
The Palisades fire, which destroyed more than 9,300 hectares, has managed to contain itself by 68% since its start 15 days ago. For its part, the Eaton, in the city of Pasadena, swept more than 5,600 hectares and is 91% extinct, Cal Fire said.

At least one dead and more than 20 injured in a Russian attack against a residential area of Zaporiyia
At least one person has died and 24 others have been injured in the city of Zaporiyia, in southeastern Ukraine, after the launch of four Russian missiles this morning against a residential area of this city, relatively close to the front.
The governor of the Zaporiyya region, Ivan Fedorov, published images of the consequences of the attack in which several destroyed apartments and damaged buildings are seen.
In addition, Russia is still advancing on the Pokrovsk front, in Donetsk, where in recent hours it has launched more than 60 attacks.
“The enemy attacks the city again. At least four explosions were heard in Zaporiyia,” Fedórov said shortly after the attack on Ukrainian television, who explained early in the morning that medical services were attending to the injured at the scene of the impacts.
Zaporiyia had more than 700,000 inhabitants before the war and is located in the homonymous region of southeastern Ukraine partially occupied by Russia.
The city has been regularly attacked by Russian forces since the beginning of the war.
At the front, Russian forces continue to concentrate their greatest efforts to achieve progress on the front axis of Pokrovsk, one of the most important cities still in Ukrainian hands in the eastern region of Donetsk.
According to the General Staff of Kiev, Ukrainian forces repelled more than 60 Russian attacks during the past day in that area rich in mineral resources.
A total of 115 fighting took place along the line of contact, according to the Ukrainian military report.
The Ukrainian war analysis platform DeepState has reported Russian progress in several areas of Donetsk.
The offensive is particularly intense in the south and southwest of the city of Pokrovsk, where Russian troops continue to approach the town.
The Ukrainian General Staff has assured that Russian forces lost 1,340 soldiers on Wednesday throughout the front line.
In addition, the Ukrainian Army claims to have destroyed 12 armored vehicles and 62 enemy artillery systems.

The United States begins the deployment of 1,500 soldiers on the border with Mexico
The United States Government began this Wednesday the deployment of about 1,500 soldiers on the border with Mexico, thus taking the first step to fulfill the promise of President Donald Trump to “close” the passage of migrants and strengthen border security.
The White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, explained this Wednesday in statements to journalists that the president signed the executive order for that deployment on Monday and the Pentagon later confirmed that it has already mobilized to comply with it.
The acting Secretary of Defense, Robert Salesses, said on Wednesday that he has authorized three actions that will begin today. First, the sending of those troops and helicopters and their respective personnel, as well as intelligence analysts to assist in the detection and control work.
According to his figures, this represents a 60% increase in the number of active forces on the ground since Trump took office on Monday.
The Pentagon will also provide military air transport to support the deportation flights of more than 5,000 “illegal aliens” from San Diego, California, and El Paso, Texas, detained by Customs and Border Protection.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), according to its statement, will be responsible for enforcing the law and the State “will obtain the necessary diplomatic authorizations and notify the host country.”
The Pentagon added that it will “begin to help in the construction of temporary and permanent physical barriers to add security and reduce illegal border crossings and illicit trafficking.”
“This is just the beginning,” the Secretary of Defense emphasized in his note.
Leavitt in turn stressed that these measures are something “for which Trump campaigned.”
“The American people were waiting for a moment like this, in which the Department of Defense takes national security seriously. It is a number one priority for the American people and the president has already fulfilled it,” he said.
The 1,500 troops will be added to the 2,200 active military and the 4,500 Texas National Guard reservists who are already deployed at the border.
As CNN explained, the new troops will perform functions similar to those of the personnel already present, focused on supporting the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with logistical and administrative tasks, such as vehicle maintenance and data entry.
During his first term (2017-2021), Trump ordered the sending of 5,200 troops to the border with Mexico.
This Monday, hours after assuming the presidency again, he signed an executive order that instructs the Pentagon to mobilize the troops necessary to achieve “complete operational control of the southern border of the United States”.
The order also establishes that Trump will evaluate in the next 90 days the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Law of 1807, which would allow the military to assume law enforcement functions within the country, in a role closer to that currently played by the security forces.
Currently, the troops deployed at the border are not authorized to carry out police tasks, such as arresting migrants or seizing drugs. In the United States, laws such as the Posse Comitatus of 1878 prohibit the armed forces from acting as police in the national territory.
