Mexican governors are taking steps to prepare for a possible influx of migrants being deported from the United States under President-elect Donald Trump's plan.
Governors in Mexico’s northern border states began making preparations for President-Elect Donald Trump ’s planned mass deportation operations. The president of Mexico told the governors to expect to receive migrants removed from the United States in February.
After Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s December 10 security meeting with the governors of the country’s 32 states, border region governors started preparing for the real possibility of mass deportations after Donald Trump’s January inauguration. In the border state of Coahuila, Governor Manolo Jimenez-Salinas gathered with authorities from both sides of the border to discuss and plan for an influx of migrants returning to Mexico. During the Acapulco meeting in early December, Mexican President Sheinbaum specifically warned governors from border states about the possibility of mass removals and the need to begin preparations. According to a Spanish-language news agency, Sheinbaum warned the northern states that the deportations could start as early as February. Nuevo Leon Governor Samuel Garcia said of the meeting, “We didn’t speak of a specific strategy of deportations, but rather, that we be ready if they begin in February.” On Friday, Coahuila Governor Manolo Jimenez-Salinas hosted a meeting attended by Norma Trevino, Mayor of Piedras Negras, the border city directly across the Rio Grande from Eagle Pass, Texas, representatives from the government of Coahuila, representatives from Mexico’s Army National Guard, the Mexican Army, and a representative of the U.S. Border Patrol. Among other security issues discussed, a major topic included the future coordination between the United States and Mexico at points of repatriation for deportees returned to Mexico as part of the Trump administration’s plan for mass removal
