The town of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, is facing significant job losses due to tariffs imposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, with over 64,000 factory jobs vanished between June 2023 and June 2025. Fabiola Galicia, a career employee at a decorative ribbon factory, lost her job along with hundreds of others when the factory shut down, citing tariffs as a key factor in its bankruptcy. The maquiladora industry, which previously thrived due to nearshoring trends, is now struggling with rising wages, economic uncertainty, and declining foreign investments, prompting some companies to relocate operations or cease them altogether.
