Of the total number of expelled people in the last eight months (482,000), more than 100,000 were deported in the last two months.
Among the 482,000 deportees are migrants sent directly to Venezuela, after the US resumed direct repatriations of citizens to that country last October, after four years of suspending that practice.
The number of deportees since last May exceeds the number of foreigners sent to their country in the entire fiscal year 2019.
