Mexico Launches ConsulApp Contigo for Nationals Facing Deportation

Mexico has launched the 'ConsulApp Contigo,' a mobile application aimed at assisting Mexican nationals in the U.S. who may face deportation or detention. The app features an emergency button that allows users to alert family, lawyers, and consulate officials if they are detained. It also provides access to legal resources and information about rights, helping users navigate their situation during potential immigration enforcement actions. The app is currently available for Android users, with plans for an iOS version in the future. Officials emphasize its importance in a climate of heightened concerns about deportations, particularly stressing that undocumented individuals still retain constitutional rights. Additionally, the Mexican government has bolstered support services to handle increased inquiries from worried nationals.
