The Mexican, identified as Martín Escareño Díaz, confessed to having tried to enter the United States with false documents.
Less than 24 hours after Donald Trump’s arrival to the presidency of the United States, the deportations of migrants have already begun. Different journalistic reports even state that the first case was registered during the inauguration of the Republican politician and it was a Mexican originally from Guadalupe, Zacatecas.
Local media identified the first migrant deported in Trump’s second term as Martín Escareño Díaz, 38 years old, who arrived in Tijuana, Baja California.
In an interview with the media, the man explained that he tried to cross the San Ysidro checkpoint with a false document, but was discovered by the American authorities and was arrested. He explained that he remained in custody for a day and, finally, on the morning of January 20, he was released and instructed to enter Mexico through Tijuana.
With a small backpack, cap, and jacket in hand, the Mexican revealed that he had already lived in the neighboring country without legal permission, so he assured that he would not lose hope of obtaining it again.
The fact was taken up by the senator of Zacatecas, Saúl Monreal, who condemned the immigration measures promised by Trump.
“We learned that a Zacatecan, originally from Guadalupe, named Martín Escareño Díaz, was the first deported in this new era. Human insensitivity is regrettable. We await a response from the Mexican Foreign Ministry in support of our fellow citizens,” he wrote through X, formerly Twitter.
Cancellation of CBP One, one of Trump’s first measures
The CBP One mobile application, which allowed migrants to enter the United States through ports of entry on the border with Mexico, stopped working in the first minutes of the first day of Donald Trump’s government, as confirmed through the website of the Customs and Border Protection Office.
Through CBP One, migrants who were in Mexican territory could fill out a form with their information and request an appointment to appear at a port of entry on the southern border of the United States. But, with the arrival of the Republican politician to the White House, immigration policy has taken a radical turn.
