Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that her government is prepared to receive and support Mexican nationals who might be deported from the United States under new policies to be implemented by President-elect Donald Trump. Sheinbaum has expressed disagreement with Trump's plan to treat migrants as criminals and has outlined a strategy, including a 'plan B', to protect Mexican citizens in the U.S. from mass deportations, which Trump has threatened to carry out using military forces. The Mexican government is also working on a plan to demonstrate that deportations are unnecessary and has prepared for potential changes in migration, trade, and security issues in bilateral relations with the U.S.
