Mexican authorities are scrambling to build migrant tent cities as part of a response to Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans.
According to a Reuters report, the shelters currently under construction should be finished within days and will be able to house thousands of individuals deported from the United States.
Municipal official Enrique described the efforts as “unprecedented.”
In a news release posted on the official Mexican government website, authorities outlined their plans in full detail:
During President Claudia Sheinbaum’s People’s Conference at the National Palace, Secretary of the Interior Rosa Icela Rodríguez assured that the federal government is ready to warmly welcome Mexican nationals with humanity, dignity, and opportunities for a decent life in their home country.
She outlined the three components of the Effective Reception Strategy, MEXICO WELCOMES YOU:
– Consular assistance and protection, with the support of United Nations agencies and organisations to guarantee the rights of returning nationals.
– Reception and support in the six border states, where attention centres will be established.
– Reintegration, addressing basic needs through social service campaigns, as well as inclusion in employment opportunities and welfare programmes.
She detailed that the attention centres will be located in municipalities adjacent to the 11 points through which Mexican nationals return. These centres will provide essential services such as electricity, water, internet, sewage, and communication infrastructure.
Within days of taking office, Trump’s deportation plan is well underway.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is currently focusing on removing criminals, although eventually, plans to deport everyone living and working in the country illegally.
However, there are growing concerns that the country may not be ready for the full impact of thousands or even millions of arrivals within the coming months.

THE NEW YORK POST | Published January 25, 2025
Mexican authorities have begun constructing giant tent shelters in the city of Ciudad Juarez to prepare for a possible influx of Mexicans deported under U.S. President Donald Trump‘s promised mass deportations.
The temporary shelters in Ciudad Juarez will have the capacity to house thousands of people and should be ready in a matter of days, said municipal official Enrique Licon.
“It’s unprecedented,” Licon said on Tuesday afternoon, as workers unloaded long metal bracings from tractor trailers parked in the large empty lot yards from the Rio Grande, which separates the city from El Paso, Texas.
The tents in Ciudad Juarez are part of the Mexican government’s plan to ready shelters and reception centers in nine cities across northern Mexico.
Authorities at the site will provide deported Mexicans with food, temporary housing, medical care, and assistance in obtaining identity documents, according to a government document outlining the strategy, called “Mexico embraces you.”
The government is also planning to have a fleet of buses ready to transport Mexicans from the reception centers back to their hometowns.

Trump has vowed to carry out the largest deportation effort in U.S. history, which would remove millions of immigrants. An operation of that scale, however, would likely take years and be hugely costly.
Nearly 5 million Mexicans are living in the United States without authorization, according to an analysis by Mexican think tank El Colegio de la Frontera Norte (COLEF) based on recent U.S. census data.
