MEXICO CITY, Sept 10, (Xinhua): Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday once again criticized the latest raids against migrants in the United States as "unjust," reiterating that her government has protocols in place to aid affected Mexican nationals. At her regular daily press conference, Sheinbaum said that following such incidents, an alert has been issued to Mexico's envoys in the United States, who immediately contact local officials to verify whether any Mexican nationals have been detained.

She stressed that the raids by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection are "unjust." Sheinbaum, who believes comprehensive immigration reform is urgently needed to recognize migrants' contributions to the U.S. economy, has strengthened Mexico's consular network in the United States to better aid citizens detained or deported. At least 26 Mexicans were detained during the latest immigration raids in the southern US state of Georgia, said the Mexican government.
