Mexico Prepares for Possible Mass Deportations

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced her government's readiness to receive Mexican nationals who may be deported by the incoming Trump administration, which has pledged to conduct mass deportations. She emphasized that immigrants should not be treated as criminals and stated that her cabinet would strategize discussions with Trump's team to highlight the economic contributions of Mexicans in the U.S. Sheinbaum reiterated the importance of showing that deportations are unnecessary, although she did not provide specific details on how this would be achieved. Trump's proposed policies include a national emergency declaration to facilitate mass deportations, and he has reinforced his commitment to strict immigration enforcement. The discussions will also cover trade, security, and trilateral relations with Canada, as outlined by Sheinbaum. This dialogue comes as tensions rise between Sheinbaum's leftist approach and Trump's hardline immigration stance.
