MEXICO CITY, December 27, 2024.- The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, announced that on January 6, a digital emergency button will be launched for migrants residing in the United States. This button can be activated in case of being detained; pressing it will inform the consulate and your family of your situation. "The most important thing is that if someone is detained for any reason, regardless of their immigration status, the Consulate can be informed in order to provide the necessary assistance and guarantee the rights of the person. By law, the agency that carried out the detention must do so," explained the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, during the president's morning press conference.

In this regard, the official explained that there are also care and assistance centers for Mexicans living in the United States. What number should I call if I am detained in the United States? These are Call Centers that provide service 24 hours a day and he added that the objective will be to link them with the alert button. Telephone number for customer service from the United States and Canada: 520 623 7874 Telephone number for customer service from Mexico: 001 520 623 7874 For technological development, we are being advised by some lawyers in Dallas, Texas, as they have a very similar process that they have used previously and it has been successful," said Juan Ramón de la Fuente.

For her part, the Mexican president said that the digital mechanism is part of the measures that will be taken if the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, fulfills his threats to carry out massive exports. "It is important that our fellow citizens know that they have rights and that a complete deportation process is required, therefore, support will be provided to them by the consulates. We have to provide all legal support and if they arrive in Mexico, welcome them," the president concluded.
