Mexico is expanding consular assistance to address security issues raised with U.S. officials over the treatment of its citizens.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said 1,390 Mexicans were detained between June 6 and Oct. 20, a period she linked to intensified U.S. immigration raids.
  • The government is strengthening 53 consulates while rolling out the CIAM legal hotline, a Botón de Alerta emergency app, and a single-window for consular procedures.
  • Mexico is providing legal accompaniment for detainees who choose to file complaints over abuses.
  • Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente met U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to discuss security and human rights affecting Mexicans in the United States.
  • Seven electoral‑reform forums will take place at U.S. consulates from Oct. 31 to Nov. 21 in Los Angeles, Sacramento, Seattle, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C.
