Mexico’s president said Thursday she will ask President-elect Donald Trump to deport non-Mexican migrants directly to their home countries, rather than dumping them at the Mexican border. President Claudia Sheinbaum said she hopes to reach an agreement with Trump so that “they send people who come from other countries to their countries of origin.” Mexico, like any other country, is not obligated to accept non-Mexican migrants, but it has agreed to do so in the recent past, especially from countries like Cuba and Venezuela, which often refuse deportation flights from the United States, but may accept them from Mexico.

South Korea's President Yoon must be suspended, his party leader says
SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's ruling party leader said on Friday President Yoon Suk Yeol needs to be removed from power for trying to impose martial law, as the government denied reports it was preparing to issue another martial law declaration.
