Jorge Ventura of NewsNation published a video of the first buses with Mexican nationals crossing into Mexico.

However, Mexico only accepts Mexican nationals. From the video:
VENTURA: Each facility can hold up to 2500 deportees and will provide temporary lodging, food, and medical checkups. However, these shelters will only accept Mexican nationals supported to Mexico and not foreign nationals. According to Mexican officials, Mexican nationals deportees will receive around 2000 pesos, which is around $100 to assist with travel expenses back to their hometowns.Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is calling it the “Mexico Embraces You” program as officials continue to receive deportees.SEGUISMUNDO DOGUIN MARTÍNEZ (TAMAULIPAS MIGRATION CHIEF): With the current situation, the presidency of the republic, under the leadership of the president, has implemented the Mexico Embraces program. This initiative will provide a range of support to repatriated Mexicans, including services and other benefits, and, well, the National Institute of Migration is responsible for receiving them, providing them with a repatriation certificate, which serves as identification and arranging transportation to their place of origin.VENTURA: And according to the Mexican government, they say they are sending around 180 buses to Mexican border towns to then bust those Mexican nationals to the interior of the country. And, Marni, according to my sources, in Tijuana, Tijuana has also started to see Mexican nationals deported back to the port of entry as well.MARNI: Jorge in all of this, the administration reinstated the controversial Remain in Mexico policy. What so far has been Mexico’s reaction to that news?VENTURA: The Trump administration is launching a policy that they first initiated back in 2019. So this would require asylum seekers and migrants who enter the United States through Mexico to remain in Mexico until their asylum cases are heard.Now, Mexican President Claudia Shinebaum and her cabinet members have already expressed their disrespect, they are not pleased with the policy, they said, and they are disagreeing with the Trump’s latest initiative.Sheinbaum also called on Trump administration to not shut down that CBP One app, which did allow migrants to schedule asylum appointments at the legal port of entries. And according to critics, they argue that the Remain in Mexico policy forces migrants to live in Mexican border towns where many have been victims of abuse.
