As the incoming Trump Administration gears up for what it promises to be the “largest deportation operation” in U.S. history, Mexico is taking decisive steps to protect its nationals. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is implementing a comprehensive support strategy aimed at assisting approximately 5 million undocumented Mexicans residing in the United States.
Key initiatives under her administration include the deployment of a panic app designed to aid individuals who are detained. Moreover, Sheinbaum has orchestrated the alignment of over 2,600 lawyers and nearly 2,200 consulate workers to offer legal support and resources. These measures are a part of a larger strategy to secure assistance for migrants potentially affected by the administration’s immigration policies.
Additionally, the Mexican Foreign Minister has conducted meetings with officials in every U.S. border state, ensuring a robust bi-national conversation about the impending deportations. This interaction underscores Mexico’s commitment to providing legal and humanitarian support for its citizens abroad.
