  • Over the past decade and a half, Mexico has absorbed a massive wave of repatriation. More than 4 million Mexican citizens have been deported from the U.S. since 2009. Even more of their family members, like Carmen and her children, willingly returned alongside them.

The article from Deseret News discusses the lives of U.S. deportees in Mexico City who are attempting to rebuild their lives after being forcibly returned to Mexico. These individuals, often having spent many years or even their entire lives in the U.S., face significant challenges including cultural adjustment, language barriers, and economic hardship. The narrative focuses on their efforts to integrate into Mexican society, find employment, and maintain connections with family in the U.S. It highlights the emotional and logistical struggles of adapting to a country they might not know well, while also showcasing community efforts and organizations in Mexico City that help these deportees with housing, legal advice, and job placement. The piece also touches on the broader implications of U.S. immigration policies and the human stories behind the statistics of deportation.
