Trump's deportation plans:
Mexico wants emergency app for migrants in the USA
Against the backdrop of future US President Donald Trump's plans for mass deportations, Mexico is planning an emergency app for its citizens in the neighboring country. Mexicans who are about to be arrested by US authorities will be able to use an emergency mechanism to notify the nearest consulate, said Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente on Friday.
The family of the person concerned and the Mexican Foreign Ministry would also be notified.
According to de la Fuente, the cell phone app should be ready for use by January. Trump will take office as president on January 20. The Republican had made illegal migration one of his key campaign issues and pledged to carry out a mass deportation with the help of the US military.
Around 4 million Mexican migrants in the USA illegally
According to estimates by the US opinion research institute Pew Research Center, around four million Mexican migrants were living in the USA without a valid residence permit in 2022.
Mexico is preparing for the US migration policy under Trump together with other important countries of origin, de la Fuente added. His government is in talks with Honduras and Guatemala about their respective emergency plans in the event of mass deportations. A meeting at ministerial level is planned on this topic.
