MATAMOROS (AFP) – Mexican soldiers rushed to set up emergency shelters near the border with the United States (US) ahead of President Donald Trump’s threatened mass deportations.
The Mexican government said it planned to open nine shelters for its citizens and three more for deported foreigners, without clarifying the total capacity, under a scheme called “Mexico embraces you”.
President Claudia Sheinbaum said this week that Mexico would provide humanitarian assistance to deported migrants from other countries before repatriating them.
