MEXICO CITY (AP) — 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.
