Mexico's Foreign Minister stated that Mexico would not permit the US to transfer Mexican migrants to Guantanamo Bay; instead, Mexico prefers to handle the migrants directly. Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente confirmed that the Mexican government conveyed this message to the US embassy in Mexico. The US recently transported a few detained migrants to the naval base in Cuba on Tuesday, with President Donald Trump pledging to enlarge the facility to accommodate up to 30,000 migrants.
