Thousands of U.S-based Cuban immigrants have been deported to Mexico under the Trump administration, according to Human Rights Watch. Left in limbo, they are stranded in the country — unable to return to either the U.S or Cuba.

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, Mexico City's Benito Juárez International Airport is a chaotic construction site. Passengers are greeted by buzzing drills and unfinished flooring alongside posters promoting the tournament. Renovations have been ongoing for a year, with over 3,000 workers tackling the project. Airport authorities say the first phase is over 90% complete despite unexpected challenges from old infrastructure.

Mexico's president has appointed Roberto Velasco as the new foreign minister during a critical time for Mexico-U.S. relations. The previous minister, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, stepped down for health reasons.

Data show most migrants the Trump administration is deporting, including in South Florida, are non-criminals — and increasingly they're people who are being sent back to countries they haven't seen in decades.

The recent killing of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, the leader of the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) has once again brought global attention to drug-related violence in Mexico. His death at the hands of the Mexican security forces triggered a wave of retaliatory violence that affected several states. This situation will undoubtedly occur again.

Production of mezcal in Mexico is booming. That is to meet growing demand of the increasingly popular spirit in the United States. The boom in production has both created opportunities for producers, particularly in the state of Oaxaca, and come with environmental costs.

Cartels are not sustained by spectacle alone. They endure because someone moves the money, launders the profits, manages the assets, cultivates legitimate fronts and binds networks of loyalty through family. In the case of CJNG, that figure was not only El Mencho. It was also, allegedly, his wife Rosalinda González Valencia.

COMMENTARY The U.S. is great at designating criminal groups as terrorists — but it's a hypocritical failure at preventing the trafficking of guns that aids those terrorists, including Mexico's narco-cartels.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino says he has "complete confidence" in Mexico as a World Cup co-host despite days of cartel violence in the country that has left at least 70 people dead.

The violence that followed the killing of a cartel leader in Mexico is fueling fears that the bloodshed could hurt tourism ahead of the FIFA World Cup later this year. The killing sparked a surge in violence and put the country on edge.

Canada's foreign minister says her country is working on an aid package for Cuba as it faces blackouts and severe fuel shortages worsened by a U.S. oil embargo. Foreign Minister Anita Anand declined to give details because they are still working on it. Canada would be joining Mexico in providing aid.
