Emergency app for Mexicans in the USA: protection against Trump's deportations!

In the face of massive deportation plans by the future US President Donald Trump, Mexico plans the introduction of an emergency app for Mexican citizens in the United States. Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente announced that this app should enable migrants to immediately alert the nearest consulate in the event of an impending arrest by US authorities. In addition, both the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the relatives of the data subject are notified. This app should be ready for use until January, in good time before Trump's office on January 20, 2025, where mass deportations will be one of the central topics that he denounced during his election campaign, such as Zeit.de reported.

The urgency of this app is underpinned by the alarming numbers: Estimates by the PEW Research Center showed that around four million Mexican migrants lived in the United States without a valid residence permit in 2022. Mexico's government is also proactive and is looking for dialogue with other Central American countries such as Honduras and Guatemala to develop common emergency plans in the event of mass deportations, as krone.at reported. Minister de la Fuente announced an upcoming meeting at the ministerial level to discuss the aspects of migration under the impending pressure of Trump's policy.

This measure represents a significant step to ensure the security and well -being of millions of Mexican migrants in the United States. It not only emphasizes the immediate concerns of migrants, but also the need for international cooperation in view of a changing political landscape. The planned use of the app and the discussions with other countries of origin show Mexico's determination to take preventive measures and to react to the upcoming challenges.
