United States and Mexico Resume Voluntary Interior Repatriation Program
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) today announced that the Governments of Mexico and the United States are resuming the Interior Repatriation Program this summer to ensure the safe, effective and humanitarian return of Mexican nationals illegally in the United States to their places of origin in the interior of Mexico.
A 2004 Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Government of Mexico established the framework for the two nations to work cooperatively in safely repatriating Mexican nationals who volunteer to participate in the Interior Repatriation Program. The goals of the program are to reduce the loss of migrant life in the Arizona-Sonora corridor and to break the human smuggling cycle along the border.
For the past two summers, the U.S. and Mexican officials have developed and jointly administered this program to return nearly 35,000 Mexican nationals who voluntarily agreed to be repatriated from the Arizona-Sonora desert to their hometowns in the interior of Mexico. The program has served as a model for bi-national cooperation at all levels. Read more at ice.gov

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) - Establishes a legislative basis for allowing a group of persons temporary refuge in the United States. Under a provision of the Immigration Act of 1990, the Attorney General may designate nationals of a foreign state to be eligible for TPS with a finding that conditions in that country pose a danger to personal safety due to ongoing armed conflict or an environmental disaster. Grants of TPS are initially made for periods of 6 to 18 months and may be extended depending on the situation. Removal proceedings are suspended against aliens while they are in Temporary Protected Status.
