    MIGRANT CARAVAN ASYLUM SEEKERS BEING 'ILLEGALLY' TURNED AWAY AT BORDER, RIGHTS GROUP SAYS

    BY CHANTAL DA SILVA ON 4/20/18 AT 6:15 AM


    00:00What Is the Immigrant ‘Caravan' Heading to the U.S.-Mexico Border That Sparked President Trump's Tweetstorm?

    As many as 50 Central Americans traveling with a migrant caravan that has drawn the ire of President Donald Trump for weeks have made it to the U.S.-Mexico border after an arduous journey that began in southern Mexico in late March—and they are being turned away, organizers say, calling the move illegal.

    "There have already been cases of people being illegally turned away by border officials when trying to request asylum at the U.S. border," a spokesperson for Pueblo Sin Fronteras, an immigrant rights group that organized the event, told Newsweek.

    "Others have been processed," the spokesperson said, adding that the organization planned to "document any abuses in [Department of Homeland Security] custody."

What did they expect a laurel and hearty handshake. Or maybe a baby's arm holding an Apple
