πŸ“Œ What’s Going On?

A month after President Trump threatened mass deportations, the expected influx of migrants in Mexican border shelters has not materialized.

Deported Migrants Are Moving Elsewhere – Many are choosing alternative destinations instead of returning to the Mexican border. πŸ“Œ 3. Mexico's Assistance Programs – The Mexican government has set up relocation programs for deportees to prevent border congestion.

πŸ“Œ What’s Next?

πŸ”Ή More U.S. military presence along the border. πŸ”Ή Uncertainty for migrants waiting on asylum decisions. πŸ”Ή Continued political tensions over immigration policies.
