Mexico develops app to alert relatives and consulates if U.S. migrants fear detention.

Mexico is developing a mobile app for migrants in the U.S. that alerts relatives and the nearest consulate if they believe they are about to be detained. The app, currently in testing and set to launch in January, allows users to press a button to send notifications. This initiative responds to President-elect Donald Trump's threats of mass deportations. Mexico has also increased consular staff and legal aid and established a 24/7 call center to assist migrants.
