Mexican soldiers have set up emergency shelters near the border with the United States ahead of President Donald Trump’s threatened mass deportations.
The Mexican government says that it plans to open nine shelters for its citizens and three more for deported foreigners, under a scheme called “Mexico embraces you.”
President Claudia Sheinbaum said this week that Mexico will provide humanitarian assistance to deported migrants from other countries before repatriating them.
Recall Trump declared a national emergency at the US southern border and vowed to deport “millions and millions” of migrants.
