Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better know as ICE,
confirms they`re going to conduct raids in New York, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Miami, Chicago, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Baltimore and
Denver. This is to deport families, who already have court orders issued
against them. US President Donald Trump has said ICE is poised to deport
millions of people.
At a special press Conference in Mexico City, Mexico`s
Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard says that for the time being, the Mexican
Government is expecting around a thousand deportees. He assured they will
be fed, cared for and supported, and that jobs will be found for
them. He stressed that this will be done for countrymen and
countrywomen. He avoided a question about whether Mexico and the United
States are becoming : "More distant neighbors, due to these US
actions." Officials flanking Ebrard, urged people facing
deportation to seek the help and advice of Mexican Consulates, dotted all
around the United States.
It`s estimated that there could be as many as eleven million
undocumented Mexicans living and working in the United States. The
remittances, or money sent home to families in Mexico by them, is a major and
vitally important enabling part of the Mexican economy.
