These actions "violate human rights"

The Secretariat for Foreign Affairs said that it “reiterates its commitment to guarantee the defense of the Mexican people who reside abroad regardless of their immigration status.”
In addition to the latest flights sent to Sacramento from Florida, the Mexican government denounced the practice "of transporting migrants from states bordering Mexico to other parts of the United States for political and electoral purposes, as has occurred in specific cases with Massachusetts and New York.
