Mexico Foreign Secretary Juan Ramón de la Fuente emphasized the importance of their forthcoming "emergency notification" app, stating it will empower citizens with necessary information as it goes live in January. He stressed the message that citizens should know they are not alone and will have support in navigating their rights and any challenges they face in the U.S. This technology aims to elevate awareness and respond swiftly to pressing situations.
De la Fuente reiterated the significance of the "Know Your Rights" program, which aims to provide immediate legal support during potentially intimidating encounters with authorities. This initiative is supplemented by the presence of 329 legal advisors across U.S. consulates, ensuring that Mexican citizens have access to legal guidance and advocacy during such instances. His remarks highlight Mexico’s commitment to protecting its citizens abroad.
In response to potential mass deportations and enforcement actions proposed by Trump, De la Fuente urged Mexican citizens, particularly those with children born in the U.S., to register with their consulates. This registration process facilitates access to legal protections, making it easier for the consulate to assist citizens in need. He expressed a strong call for participation in this initiative to bolster overall legal resource availability.
