It comes after a U.S. State Department official told the Associated Press that the Trump administration is currently conducting a review of all 53 Mexican consulates, a move that could potentially lead some of them to be closed.
That's why this group, calling themselves the National Consular Movement, is sounding the alarm despite the lack of information from the consulate directly.
"We want them to say it's not true, we hope it's not true but we want to address it," said Olga Valle, Founder of the National Consular Movement. "The community needs to know what is happening. We are here to stand up for them, raise our voices so that this does not happen. We need our community to be protected."
It comes at a tense time between the U.S. and Mexico.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has tried to maintain strong ties with the U.S. while ramping up crackdowns on cartels.
But recent developments, including the deaths of two CIA agents in Mexico and U.S. indictments of officials in Sheinbaum's party, are adding strain.
Meanwhile, members of the National Consular Movement point to the crackdown as evidence of cooperation, saying more than 90 criminal suspects have been transferred to the U.S.
Mexico's network of diplomatic outposts is by far the most extensive in the United States.
They help the 30 million Mexican citizens living in the U.S. by providing identification documents, legal assistance and other needs.
That includes Erika Vargas, who drove about an hour from Chowchilla for an appointment, only to be told she would have to return another day.
She says even that trip was difficult and worries closures would make access even harder.
"Coming here was a hassle so going farther away, it would just be very stressful. I cannot imagine the people that would have to drive even farther away and for my parents, they don't know how to use technology. That would be very, very hard for them," said Erika Vargas.
Organizers say they want to reassure the community not to be afraid to make appointments despite the uncertainty.
Action News reached out to California Senator Alex Padilla and the Mexican Secretary for External Affairs and have not received a comment.
