Two Biden Administration Officials Will Travel to Mexico to Discuss the Border Surge
Two Biden administration officials on Monday will travel to meet with their Mexican counterparts and discuss the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, where federal agents have apprehended thousands of migrants in recent weeks in a rapidly escalating situation.
Ambassador to Mexico Roberta Jacobson, who serves as President Biden‘s coordinator for the southwest border, will meet with the Mexican foreign secretary and other government leaders “to develop an effective and humane plan of action to manage migration.”
Jacobson will be joined by Juan Gonzalez, the senior director for the Western Hemisphere within the National Security Council. Gonzalez will continue on to Guatemala after Monday’s talks to meet with officials there about short-term and long-term solutions to address root causes of migration to the U.S. from the Central American nation.
