August 18, 2018. © Provided by AFP Residents of the Brazilian border town of Pacaraima burn tyres and belongings of Venezuelans immigrants after attacking their makeshift camps and forcing them back across the border on August 18, 2018.

Brazil's President Michel Temer called an emergency meeting of key ministers Sunday after ordering troops to the border with Venezuela as regional tensions build over the exodus from its crisis-hit neighbor.

Temer was meeting at his presidential palace in Brasilia with key ministers, including those of defense, public security and foreign affairs, but no further details were being disclosed.

Things breaking down some, we will see what other stories there are. And to his credit, the President called out troops there. Doesn't look like any "summer camp" there that those big bad Americans do.
