MEXICO CITY — Mexico sent home the first group of illegal Cuban migrants under a new accord aimed at cutting off an increasingly violent human-trafficking route to the United States, the government said Thursday.
The 41 migrants left the resort city of Cancún aboard a Mexican navy ship, a statement from the navy and the Interior Department said.
Before Mexico signed the agreement with Cuba in October, authorities rarely sent migrants back to the communist island but allowed them to continue on to the U.S.
But Mexico has become frustrated with the migrations as violent traffickers increasingly got involved in moving them across the country.
