Yes, recent viral footage and reports confirm that Mexican authorities are ramping up deportations of undocumented migrants southward toward Guatemala and further into Central America, often in response to U.S. pressure under the Trump administration's border crackdown. This marks a shift from earlier patterns where Mexico sometimes allowed northward transit, but now it's enforcing its southern border more aggressively—think buses loaded with families, kids in arms, and National Guard escorts rolling toward the Suchiate River bridge.
What's Going Down in the Footage
A fresh clip circulating today (Oct 15, 2025) captures Mexican National Guard officers detaining groups of migrants—mostly from Venezuela, Honduras, and beyond—near Tapachula in Chiapas state. You see officers in green uniforms grabbing backpacks, herding people onto buses, and even some resistance with shouts and strollers in tow. Overlays scream "So Mexico is using the same methods as the US? 😂😂" as crowds of women and kids are loaded up for the trek south. It's raw, chaotic, and a stark reminder that Mexico's playing hardball to keep flows from overwhelming its own system.
The Bigger Picture: Why Now?
- Trump Effect: Since January 2025, Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has coordinated with Central American nations on a "mass deportation plan" to handle U.S. returns, but it's spilling over into Mexico's own ops.
CLOSED BORDER: Mexico is deporting illegals south to Guatemala and beyond. With Trump ending Biden’s open borders, Mexico refuses to be the waiting room for millions. Its police are far tougher than ICE. pic.twitter.com/sqnFmd4T6u
