The man was eventually arrested, and agents said he told them he was part of the migrant caravan that had been in the news. They said he had previous arrests in the U.S. and had been deported back in Honduras June.
“Seeking asylum”.
Be interesting to follow up for a while and see who is who.
I was told in another thread that thousands of migrants would be throwing rocks at border patrol agents at the same time. But i suppose an isolated incident can be exagerrated for political purposes.
At least three journalists were injured in fistfights and other violence after midnight, according to the newspaper, which occurred after residents gathered to demand the migrants vacate a public beach.
“For now, we have agreed to this policy of Remain in Mexico,” said Olga Sánchez Cordero, Mexico’s incoming interior minister, the top domestic policy official for López Obrador, who takes office Dec. 1. In an interview with The Washington Post, she called it a “short-term solution.”
“The medium- and long-term solution is that people don’t migrate,” Sánchez Cordero said. “Mexico has open arms and everything, but imagine one caravan after another after another. That would also be a problem for us.”
I was told in another thread that everyone in the caravan was peaceful and only seeking a better life and there would be no violence or anyone that wasn’t of the peaceful asylum-seeking refugee model.
I interpret the article to say he was caught at the border. Agents and a helicopter monitored and arrested him. I don’t see this as a failure of the process.
Exactly. It sounds like he approached the board and was arrested as soon as he crossed. Good work by border patrol. I don’t see how there is a problem here.
