The president of Mexico is creating a new app for Mexican illegals living in the US so that they can notify the Mexican government and their relatives if they’ve been detained by officials carrying out President Trump’s mass deportations.
The purpose is so that the Mexican government can “defend the human rights” of these Mexican illegals or something.
Here’s more from Axios:
Mexico is launching a smartphone app that allows Mexican migrants to warn relatives and instantly alert the nearest consulate if U.S. immigration agents detain them, officials said Friday.
Why it matters: The announcement came as part of a broad warning from the administration of Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum that the nation will defend the human rights of Mexican citizens in the U.S. amid President-elect Trump’s mass deportation plans.
Mexico Foreign Secretary Juan Ramón de la Fuente said at a press conference that the “emergency notification” app will go live in January.
“I have personally attended several open meetings where the key message is to tell our fellow citizens that they are not alone and will not be alone,” De la Fuente said.
De la Fuente said Mexico’s “Know Your Rights” program will be part of a rapid response to possible enforcement scenarios or “other intimidating actions.”
Mexico’s legal protection program includes 329 legal advisors at all 53 consulates in the U.S., along with voluntary support from consultants and law firms across the country, he said.
Trump has said his mass deportation plan will likely include U.S. citizens who are the children of undocumented immigrants and the erection of new detention camps around the country.
More than two dozen Republican governors also said that they’ll use “state law enforcement or the National Guard” to help with mass deportation, raising alarm from advocacy groups.
Mexico is encouraging all Mexican citizens with children born in the U.S. to register them with the consulates.
“Not everyone has done this yet. We strongly encourage everyone to register with our consulates as this enables us to provide legal protection when needed,” De la Fuente said.
This is rich. Mexico is suddenly interested in defending the human rights of their citizens living here in the US because of Trump’s mass deportation plans, when many of these same illegals have undoubtedly been trafficked by the Mexican cartels simply because they wanted to come to the US. Where was the Mexican government for the last four years during Biden’s horrific open border?
I get that Mexico has a new president but she should be worrying more about ending the sick drug cartels who control the border and exploit her citizens than the criminal illegals being detained by Trump’s deportation forces.
