Mexico, for its part, will continue accepting back migrants returned to the country on humanitarian grounds, both nations said in a joint statement. The announcement comes as the US prepares for the end of the Title 42 policy and a possible subsequent spike in illegal border crossings. A U.S. official said last week that the country intends to continue expelling migrants of those four nationalities back to Mexico after the program’s end date. Tuesday’s announcement indicates that a U.S. humanitarian parole program providing legal migration pathways for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans will continue after May 11. Sherwood-Randall told Mexican authorities that “the humanitarian parole program will continue,” Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard told journalists following the meeting.
