The President added that the defense of Mexicans living in the United States will continue to be a permanent topic in her dialogue with the White House.
Besides. He pointed out that in each meeting he insists on the value and contribution of the Mexican community in that country, as well as the importance of guaranteeing their rights: “Anywhere we are we talk about that, what Mexicans represent there.”

He also clarified that a trilateral agenda was not discussed with Canada and that the meeting was strictly protocol.
“It’s not that we have made much progress, but we hope to continue working,” he said, mentioning that, as the bilateral dialogue develops, he will be able to offer more information.

The President rules out new massive extradition
Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo clarified that, for the moment, a new massive extradition of criminal bosses to the United States is not contemplated.
In his message, he explained that, in cases where the sending of a person is requested without there being an arrest warrant in Mexico, the request is proceeded with. However, when there are judicial processes open in national territory, the legal framework must be respected and the procedures established before any transfer must be followed.
“No. What happens is that, when there is an extradition and a person is detained who does not have, for example, an arrest warrant, he is normally deported here. That is what has happened at this time; otherwise, the entire extradition process is carried out. But, up to this moment, with the Security Council, no other mass shipment has been contemplated. That does not mean that there will not be one,” he mentioned.
