Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that her government had asked television stations to pull an advertisement by US President Donald Trump's administration warning against undocumented migration because it could incite violence.

She said Mexico's government had written to private TV channels urging them to stop showing the message, which has been aired during prime-time programs such as major league football.

Reading the letter at her morning news conference, Sheinbaum said that the ad "contains a discriminatory message that violates human dignity" and could encourage "violence against people on the move."

The ad is part of a multimillion-dollar international campaign announced by Trump's Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in February in radio, broadcast and digital formats in multiple countries.
