Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that her nation has a plan in place to take back millions of her nation’s, and other nation’s, deported citizens after President-elect Donald Trump begins his mass deportation program.
“We can collaborate through different mechanisms,” she said at her daily press briefing.
“There will be time to speak with the United States government if these deportations really happen, but we will receive them here, we are going to receive them properly and we have a plan,” she said.
It came after the Mexican governmentannounced that it is creating an app that illegal aliens in the United States can use to alert them if they believe they are about to be detained by U.S. federal law enforcement.
The app will allow Mexican migrants to hit a button that would alert previously chosen contacts and the closest consulate when they believe that they are going to be detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, The Daily Caller reported.
“In case you find yourself in a situation where detention is imminent, you push the alert button, and that sends a signal to the nearest consulate,” Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente said at a press conference with President Claudia Sheinbaum.
The foreign minister said that the app has been tested and “appears to be working very well.”
They believe that the app will be set to be used in January as President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated.
“Mexican nationals make up the largest portion of all immigrants living in the U.S. by far, according to the Migration Policy Institute. As of 2023, they accounted for roughly 23% of the 47.8 million foreign-born individuals living in the country. They also make up nearly half of the roughly 11 million illegal migrants currently residing in the U.S.,” the report said.
Sheinbaum, who has frequently attributed her nation’s issues to the U.S., has sought to reassure citizens and ease tensions over the potential for U.S. military intervention.
“There won’t be an invasion. It’s not going to happen,” she said recently.
