INVADER NEWS: Mexico Launching App for Migrants in US, Vows to Defend Citizens Facing Deportation; Mexico Developing ‘Alert Button’ App For Migrants Getting Arrested By ICE

Mexico launching app for migrants in US, vows to defend citizens facing deportation:

The app is being designed in anticipation of mass deportations under the new Trump administration

Mexico is developing an app that will allow migrants in the U.S. facing deportation to alert their family members and local U.S. consulates if they are about to be detained by authorities, a senior official said Friday. He added that his government plans to ensure that each Mexican citizen is given due process in the U.S. before being potentially ejected from the country.

The app, called “Alert Button,” is being designed in anticipation of the mass deportations of illegal migrants expected to occur after President-elect Trump is sworn into office on Jan. 20. A cornerstone of Trump’s second term in office is to secure the border and carry out the largest mass deportation program the U.S. has ever seen.

Many Mexican nationals who are in the U.S. illegally will likely be targeted by the new Trump administration. The Mexican government estimates there are 11.5 million migrants with some form of legal residency in the United States and 4.8 million without legal residency or proper documents.

The new app, which is expected to be available in January, will allow users to press a tab to send an alert notification to previously chosen relatives and the nearest Mexican consulate, of which there are 53 in the U.S.

“In case you find yourself in a situation where detention is imminent, you push the alert button and that sends a signal to the nearest consulate,” Mexico’s secretary of foreign affairs Juan Ramón de la Fuente said.

He said it has already been rolled out for small-scale testing and “appears to be working very well.”

De la Fuente described it as a sort of panic button, adding that his office has beefed up its consular staff by hiring “329 legal representatives” to ensure that Mexicans facing deportation will be given due process and are properly informed of their rights before potential removal. —>READ MORE HERE

Mexico Developing ‘Alert Button’ App For Migrants Getting Arrested By ICE:

The Mexican government is developing a cellphone app for its citizens to use if they are in the United States and believe they are about to be detained by federal immigration authorities.

The app will allow Mexican nationals to press a tab that sends an alert notification to previously chosen relatives and the nearest consulate when they suspect they are about to be apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, Mexican Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente said at a news conference Friday alongside President Claudia Sheinbaum. The announcement is the latest by the Mexican government as it braces for President-elect Donald Trump’s promise of a wide-scale deportation operation come January.

“In case you find yourself in a situation where detention is imminent, you push the alert button, and that sends a signal to the nearest consulate,” de la Fuente said of the project, according to the Associated Press.

He added that the app has already been tested on a small-scale and “appears to be working very well.” Government officials anticipate a full release by January, just in time for Trump’s return to the White House.

Along with plans to resume construction of the U.S-Mexico border wall, a relaunch of the Remain in Mexico program, and slapping Mexican imports with sweeping tariffs unless their government does more to stop the flow of illegal immigration, the incoming Trump administration has also vowed to launch the largest deportation program ever conducted in U.S. history. The ambitious agenda has sparked tension with Sheinbaum, an ideological leftist who is viewed as more sympathetic to the plight of illegal migrants. —>READ MORE HERE
