Mexico has refused a request from President Donald Trump’s administration to allow a U.S. military aircraft deporting migrants to land in the country, a U.S. official and a Mexican official told Reuters.

U.S. military aircraft carried out two similar flights, each with about 80 migrants, to Guatemala on Friday. The government was not able to move ahead with a plan to have a C-17 transport aircraft land in Mexico, however, after the country denied permission.

The Mexican official did not give a reason for the denial of permission to land, while the foreign ministry did not mention the incident.

    Doh, really?

    Mexico isn’t allowing airplanes full of random people frok various different countries to be dumped in their country? Wonder why.

    But no worries, trump will threaten either with economic ruin or full oninvasion, as he has already done multiple times with both Canada and Mexico.

    Both Canada and Mexico shouldn’t budge, and aren’t, so far, but I think everyone here should brace for some real shit…

    On a side note, if the US decides to send in military to Mexico, let’s just say that certain groups in Mexico have been trained and armed by the US military, and also have trained in various method of getting messages across. Expect US military to be found hanging from bridges. Talk about your strange bedfellows in times of darkness.
