Mexico is bracing for President Donald Trump’s promise to reverse mass migration by building sprawling tents on the U.S. border. In Ciudad Juárez, metal frames for tent shelters are being erected, similar efforts are being made in Nogales, Matamoros, and Piedras Negras. Deportations have begun, with lower numbers than last year, posing logistical and financial challenges.
Mexico has announced plans to build nine shelters in border cities to receive deportees and provide humanitarian aid to those whose asylum appointments were canceled. The country aims to eventually return migrants to their home countries. Mexican Foreign Affairs Secretary and U.S. Secretary of State discussed migration and security issues, with the Pentagon sending troops to the border.
The Good Samaritan shelter in Ciudad Juarez is preparing for an influx of deportees, with concerns about limited resources. The shelter has seen changes in its population over the years, from young men seeking work to families seeking asylum. Amid Trump’s mass deportation promise, the shelter is facing uncertainty about its ability to accommodate a larger number of migrants.
Deportees will be bussed to their homes in Mexico or given time to decide their next steps, which may include seeking work in another Mexican state or attempting to re-enter the U.S. Despite the challenges, efforts are being made to assist deportees and manage the impact of changing border and immigration policies.
