Mexico is getting ready for President Donald Trump’s mass deportations by setting up large migrant encampments in Ciudad Juarez to receive the massive influx of migrants expected within the next couple of days.

The tent shelters will be prepared in just a few days, according to city official Enrique Licon. Trucks carrying what appeared to be building materials for a large tent complex arrived at a spot called El Punto in north Juarez. The center should be operating within a week, will provide food, medical checkups, shelter and a debit card with about $100 on it that deported Mexicans can use to return to their home states if desired.

Other large tent centers are planned in Tijuana, Nuevo Laredo, Matamoros and other Mexican cities bordering the United States.
