The Mexican government is taking proactive steps to support migrants and Mexican nationals who are deported from the United States. According to a document obtained, Mexico’s National Institute of Migration and other government agencies are set to provide a range of services including temporary shelter, transportation, medical care, guidance, and support for reintegration.
Specifically, the government plans to establish welcome centers and shelters in Mexican states that border the US. In Baja, California, for instance, seven migrant shelters will be opened, with two in Mexicali and five in Tijuana. The largest shelter in Tijuana, located at Parque Industrial Nordika, will have a capacity of 5,000 people and will cater to family units, men, women, and unaccompanied minors.
