Mexico develops app to support migrants in the US facing deportation
Mexico is developing an app called "Alert Button" for migrants in the U.S. facing deportation. The app will allow users to notify family and consulates if they are detained, enhancing support for Mexican citizens amid anticipated mass deportations under President-elect Trump. The app is set to launch in January and has undergone small-scale testing. Mexico's government has increased consular staff and established a 24-hour call center to assist migrants with legal rights and processes related to deportation. Mexican officials emphasize their commitment to defending citizens' rights in the U.S. They state that due process is required before deportation, and they will ensure that their consular network is prepared to assist those in need.
