两名美国国土安全部官员对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网表示，尽管墨西哥政府愿意接收所有本国公民，特朗普政府仍在悄悄将墨西哥境内的移民遣送至中美洲其他国家。
这些国土安全部官员称，美国移民当局一直在将来自墨西哥的被驱逐者送往危地马拉和洪都拉斯，绕过墨西哥领土将他们空运至这些国家，而不是将他们遣返回墨西哥本土。由于未获授权向媒体发言，这些官员要求匿名。
官员们表示，这些尚未被美国政府正式公布的遣返行动的目标之一，是通过将部分墨西哥公民送往更南部、远离美墨边境的地区，威慑来自墨西哥的非法移民。
其中一名国土安全部官员表示，此类遣返行动已持续数月，已有数百名墨西哥公民被送往洪都拉斯和危地马拉。目前尚不清楚具体人数。
墨西哥外交部在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网的一份声明中表示反对将墨西哥公民遣送至其他国家。
“墨西哥政府接收所有本国公民的遣返。因此，墨西哥反对将墨西哥公民遣送至第三国，且未与任何国家达成此类协议，”该外交部称。“墨西哥始终采取必要措施，确保所有本国公民安全且有尊严地返回本国领土。”
美国国土安全部的一名发言人表示，特朗普政府“正在利用所有合法手段开展史上规模最大的遣返行动，正如总统所承诺的那样”。
在共和党和民主党两届政府执政期间，美国都会将在美墨边境被抓获的墨西哥移民遣送至墨西哥境内深处，以阻止他们再次非法进入美国。但移民政策专家表示，此次将墨西哥被驱逐者遣送至该地区其他国家的做法前所未闻。
尽管特朗普政府大幅扩大了向所谓“第三国”——即被驱逐者并非该国国民的国家——的遣返行动，但这类行动大多发生在移民的祖国限制或拒绝美国的遣返请求，或是移民已获得免于被遣返回国的法律保护的情况。然而，墨西哥历来接受美国遣返其本国公民，以及来自其他拉美国家的被驱逐者。
“这几乎完全是惩罚性措施，”华盛顿拉美办事处研究该地区移民流动的研究员亚当·艾萨克森说道。
艾萨克森表示，美国将墨西哥公民遣送至洪都拉斯和危地马拉可以达成两个目标。一是增加他们再次穿越美墨边境的难度。二是传递威慑信号。
“这与将他们送往厄瓜多尔、非洲或其他任何地方的目的相同：宣扬其遭遇的艰难处境，让人们清楚知道在美国非法滞留可能会面临这样的后果，以此鼓励人们自行离境，”艾萨克森说道。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网联系了洪都拉斯和危地马拉两国政府的代表，询问其与美国的遣返安排，但尚未收到回复。
U.S. quietly deporting Mexican migrants to Guatemala and Honduras, angering Mexico

The Trump administration has been quietly deporting migrants from Mexico to different countries in Central America despite the Mexican government’s willingness to accept the return of all its citizens, two Department of Homeland Security officials told CBS News.
U.S. immigration authorities have been sending deportees from Mexico to Guatemala and Honduras, flying them around Mexican territory instead of returning them to their homeland, the DHS officials said, requesting anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
The officials said one of the objectives of the deportations, which have not been formally announced by the U.S. government, is to deter illegal immigration from Mexico by sending some of its citizens further south and farther away from the U.S.-Mexico border.
The deportations have been occurring for months and have sent hundreds of Mexican citizens to Honduras and Guatemala, one of the DHS officials said. It was not immediately clear what the precise number is.
In a statement to CBS News, Mexico’s Foreign Ministry voiced its opposition to the deportation of Mexican citizens to other countries.
“The Government of Mexico accepts the return of all its nationals. It therefore rejects the deportation of Mexican nationals to third countries and has no such agreement in place,” the foreign ministry said. “Mexico consistently takes the steps necessary to ensure the safe and dignified return of all its nationals to national territory.”
A DHS spokesperson said the Trump administration “is utilizing all lawful options to carry out the largest deportation operation in history, just as President promised.”
Under Republican and Democratic administrations, the U.S. has deported Mexican migrants caught at the American southern border deep into Mexico, in an effort to discourage them from trying to enter the U.S. illegally again. But immigration policy experts said the move to send Mexican deportees to other countries in the region was unprecedented.
While the Trump administration has vastly expanded deportations to so-called “third countries,” or nations where deportees don’t hail from, it has mostly done so in cases in which migrants’ home countries, like Cuba, limit or reject U.S. deportations or when they have won legal protections from being returned to their homelands. Mexico, however, has historically accepted all U.S. deportations of its citizens, as well as of deportees from other Latin American countries.
“This is almost entirely punitive,” said Adam Isacson, a researcher at the Washington Office on Latin America who studies migration flows in the region.
Isacson said the U.S. accomplishes two goals by deporting Mexicans to Honduras and Guatemala. It makes it harder for them to try to cross the U.S. southern border. But it also sends a message of deterrence.
“It’s the same as the purpose of sending them to Ecuador or Africa or anywhere else: to broadcast the hardship, to make sure people know that this is a possible consequence of remaining undocumented in the United States and to encourage people to self-deport,” Isacson said.
CBS News contacted representatives for the governments of Honduras and Guatemala requesting comment on their deportation arrangements with the U.S. but has not heard back.
