As the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump announces the commencement of the \"largest massive deportation operation in history,\" Mexico is bracing for an influx of deportees. Hundreds of suspected undocumented immigrants have already been arrested in the United States, marking the beginning of a program that could see millions deported to Mexico.
At the U.S.-Mexico border, preparations are underway to address the potential challenges posed by the return of large numbers of Mexican nationals. Authorities in Mexico are coordinating efforts to provide support and resources to those who may soon arrive.
Alasdair Baverstock reports from the U.S.-Mexico border, shedding light on how Mexico is gearing up for the situation. Strategies include setting up reception centers, offering legal assistance, and integrating returnees into the workforce.
The impending deportations have raised concerns among families and communities on both sides of the border. As the situation unfolds, Mexico faces the task of not only accommodating the deportees but also addressing the social and economic impacts of their return.
