STORYLINE:
Mexico was raising sprawling tents on the U.S. border Wednesday as it braced for President Donald Trump to fulfill his pledge to carry out mass deportations.

In an empty lot tight against the border with El Paso, Texas, cranes lifted metal frames for tent shelters in Ciudad Juarez.

The border cities of Nogales, Matamoros and Piedras Negras have launched similar efforts.

Enrique Serrano, an official in Chihuahua state, where Ciudad Juárez is located, said the tents erected for Mexican deportees were just the initial phase of a potential larger operation.

He suggested migrants from other countries expelled from the U.S. would be relocated to Mexico City or southern regions of Mexico as has been done previously.

However, the number of people deported Tuesday was lower than the daily average of about 500 last year.

Quickly ramping up deportations — as Trump pledges — faces logistical and financial challenges.
