Mexico develops app to assist citizens in the US facing deportation

zerohedge.com — December 28, 2024 at 09:01 PM UTC

Mexico is creating a cellphone app for its citizens in the U.S. illegally to alert family and consulates if they face deportation. The app is currently in testing and is expected to launch in January, coinciding with the new U.S. administration. In addition to the app, Mexico has set up a 24-hour call center for questions from undocumented citizens and increased consular staff and legal aid resources. There are an estimated 4.8 million undocumented migrants from Mexico in the U.S. The app's development comes amid discussions between President-elect Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum about immigration policies. Trump has claimed success in reducing illegal immigration through Mexico, while Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico's commitment to managing migrant flows.
