"Deportations are 24/7": Migrants are quickly returned to Mexico under Biden's asylum crackdown

Nogales, Mexico — While local food vendors, commuters and American travelers went about their day, migrants deported by the U.S. to this Mexican border city sat idly, visibly demoralized and disoriented.

"I'm desperate," said Emmanuel, a migrant from Mexico who had been returned from the U.S. earlier in the day. "I don't know what I will do."

Emmanuel said he wanted to work in the U.S. and send money back to his family in Chiapas, Mexico's southernmost state. But soon after crossing into Arizona illegally, Emmanuel said he was detained by U.S. border agents and returned to Mexico.
