Mexico launching app for migrants in US, vows to defend citizens facing deportation
Fox News
Mexico says it will defend its citizens who are facing deportation, adding that it is developing an app that will allow them to alert family members and consulates if they are detained.
Many Mexican nationals who are in the U.S. illegally will likely be targeted by the new Trump administration. The Mexican government estimates there are 11.5 million migrants with some form of legal residency in the United States and 4.8 million without legal residency or proper documents.

The new app, which is expected to be available in January, will allow users to press a tab to send an alert notification to previously chosen relatives and the nearest Mexican consulate, of which there are 53 in the U.S.
