Mexico's national migration institute (INM) on Friday said it has asked the foreign ministry to make diplomatic arrangements with Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela for the countries to accept migrant return flights.
More migrants have been passing through Mexico to the U.S. border, including large numbers on dangerous cargo trains, and the institute said it has registered more than 1.5 million foreigners entering the country irregularly this year.
It also said migration officials have established 30 checkpoints along cargo railways as part of an agreement with railroad operator Ferromex, which last month suspended some north-bound train routes due to migrants hitching rides.
In the last three weeks, more than 27,000 migrants have been "persuaded to get down from trains," INM said in a statement.
