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.
