Tijuana explains an emergency: impending mass deportations and emergency measures!

The Mexican border town of Tijuana has proclaimed the emergency due to the impending mass deportation by the designated US President Donald Trump. This mutual approach was decided on Monday by the local city councils to release financial resources that are to be used to cope with the possible arrival of deported. Mayor Ismael Burgueño emphasized that the funds should be used for the hiring of personnel, accommodations and legal help to ensure "worthy treatment" for migrants. Tijuana, a city with over two million inhabitants, is a central place for migrants in search of a transition to the USA, such as reported.

Trump has repeatedly spoken of an "invasion" and announced that he wants to declare a national emergency on the border with Mexico immediately after taking office on January 20 and deports millions of people without a residence permit. According to estimates by the Poll Research Institute Pew Research Center, around four million Mexican migrants lived in the United States in 2022 without a valid residence permit. In order to support migrants, the Mexican government also plans to introduce a mobile app with an alarm button that is to be provided this month and the function of which is to inform affected migrants and their families about impending arrests, as well as Barrons

tijuana, as one of the main destinations on the border between Mexico and the USA, has numerous accommodations in which migrants can be accommodated from all over South America and other regions. The city is now preparing for the possible consequences of the announced deportations and tries to ensure the necessary support for the migrants.
