WASHINGTON D.C., DC — The U.S. will work to greatly expand a program that returns asylum-seekers who cross the southern border to Mexico while their claims are adjudicated.
It's part of an agreement reached Friday to put off tariffs ordered by President Donald Trump.
The State Department says Mexico will take "unprecedented steps" to "curb irregular migration," including deploying its National Guard along its southern border.
The U.S. says Mexico "is also taking decisive action to dismantle human smuggling and trafficking organizations."
Trump tweeted Friday night that he would hold off on a 5% tariff on all Mexican imports set to take effect Monday.
The State Department says the two nations will continue their discussion to curb illegal migration to the U.S.
