The activist mentioned that the comprehensive program for migrants is unprecedented. Marsha Beya Rubyn, Commissioner for Human Rights and Migration for the Americas and the Caribbean of the World Academic Council, highlighted the unity generated by Trump's policies among migrants of different nationalities. She emphasized the contribution of migrants to the U.S. economy and referred to them as migrant heroes. From her perspective, the Trump administration is achieving something unexpected: uniting all the world's migrants.
Meanwhile, in Mexico City, a march gathered thousands of people against Trump's return to the presidency. Participants demanded respect for human rights and an end to discriminatory policies affecting migrants and bilateral relations between Mexico and the United States. The mobilization marched through the main streets, finally arriving at the U.S. embassy in the Mexican capital.
On Monday, numerous activists gathered in front of the U.S. embassy in Mexico City to show their rejection of Donald Trump's anti-immigration policies. They symbolically hit and burned a piñata shaped like the former president as a sign of repudiation of what they consider abuses against the human rights of migrants. María García, one of the activists, stated that this act is a symbol of protest rooted since Trump's first term.
Additionally, García expressed Mexico's preparation for possible mass deportations, thanks to a joint program between civil society organizations and different levels of government. She acknowledged the concern among some migrants due to the new Trump Administration's rhetoric, pointing to programs implemented at the federal and state levels, such as the paisano card, to facilitate the reintegration of those returning from the United States. Efforts aimed at providing medical services, access to employment, and documentation to migrants.
