Tijuana Declares Emergency Over Anticipated U.S. Deportations Under Trump

The Mexican border city is preparing for a potential influx of deported migrants as Donald Trump promises mass expulsions after his inauguration.

Tijuana's city council unanimously declared a state of emergency to allocate resources for handling thousands of potential deportees from the United States.
The emergency funds will be used to hire staff, secure housing, and provide legal aid to ensure humane treatment for deported migrants.
Plans include renting a facility capable of accommodating up to 5,000 people, reflecting the city's proactive approach to the situation.
Donald Trump, set to be inaugurated as U.S. president on January 20, has pledged to enact a large-scale deportation program targeting undocumented immigrants.
Mexican officials, including President Claudia Sheinbaum, have proposed measures such as a migrant alert app and potential agreements with the U.S. to manage deportations effectively.
