NEW YORK (Sputnik) — Mexican and US officials approved updated repatriation arrangements along the US-Mexico border, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement.

"US and Mexican representatives conducted a comprehensive, border-wide review of the times and locations of all Mexican repatriations, negotiated new bi-national Local Repatriation Arrangements that better aligned DHS and Mexican resources to improve coordination of the repatriation process," the statement said on Tuesday.

As part of the updated agreement, both Mexico and the United States agreed to the use of a dozen areas for repatriation and adopted an approach that assumed daytime returns.

Since 2009, US and Mexican law enforcement have collaborated on a bilateral initiative to dismantle human trafficking networks operating across the countries’ border, according to the US Department of Justice.

Relations between the United States and Mexico have been tested by a charged political debate over immigration, including calls by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to deport millions of illegal immigrants, claiming they fuel crime in the United States.
