The U.S. is angry Mexico

The U.S. Justice Department canceled a program to transport inmates to Mexico in March 2020. There is a treaty between Mexico and the U.S. that established that Mexicans serving time in the U.S. can serve their sentence in Mexico. However, this 2020, U.S. authorities canceled the program because Mexican authorities didn’t confirm the dates proposed by the U.S. and didn’t send the information of inmates who qualified for the program. So the U.S. Justice Department didn’t only cancel the program, it also asked Mexico for the contact information of all those government officials involved in the program.
