Mexico to let migrants remain while US asylum claims proceed

Published December 20, 2018

Mexico has agreed to a U.S. proposal to let third-country migrants remain in or be returned to Mexico while their claims for asylum in the United States are being processed.

The decision was a historic one for Mexico, which has traditionally refused to accept the return of any migrants who aren't Mexican.

Mexico's Foreign relations Department said Thursday the move i a temporary, humanitarian measure.
