Mexico is swiftly preparing to accommodate tens of thousands of migrants expected to be deported from the United States following President-elect Donald Trump's plans for mass deportations, particularly targeting individuals unlawfully in the U.S. with criminal records.

Key Developments:

  • Shelter Expansion: The city of Tijuana has declared a state of emergency and is collaborating with the federal government to establish 25 shelters, each with a capacity of 2,500 people, to house the incoming deported migrants.


  • Regional Aid Initiatives: Mexico is extending its migrant assistance programs to other Latin American and Caribbean countries, aiming to develop a coordinated response to the anticipated increase in migration.


  • Technological Support: The Mexican government is preparing to launch a mobile application featuring a "panic button" to help citizens alert their families and consulates if detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

These measures reflect Mexico's proactive approach to managing the potential surge in deported migrants and ensuring their well-being upon return.
