The migrants reportedly busted locks and overwhelmed Mexican law enforcement at the southern border with Guatemala.
Another wave of migrants making their way to the United States apparently made their way through a Mexican checkpoint this weekend. A group of roughly 350 migrants believed to be mostly from Central American countries busted locks and overwhelmed Mexican law enforcement, according to an Associated Press report.
The group is trying to catch up with a larger group of about 2,000 migrants ahead of them, according to AP. The international bridge in Metapa, in the Mexican state of Chiapas, is the same crossing used by previous caravans. The AP states that hundreds of migrants from Central America, Africa and Cuba have stalled the entrance process in Tapachula, and that many others just west of the town, in Mapastepec, are also awaiting travel papers.
On Friday, President Donald Trump said he would send all undocumented immigrants to so-called sanctuary cities, which are locales in the country that have laws and regulations in place that shield immigrants from Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials detaining or incarcerating them.
