CBP barricades port of entry as migrants mass on mexican side
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – U.S. authorities have placed barricades in the middle of the Paso del Norte port of entry after learning of a large group of migrants massing on the Mexican side Monday morning.
Some 300 migrants massed on the Mexican side of the Paso del Norte port of entry Monday morning apparently in protest over not being allowed to apply for in-person asylum in the United States and still upset over a fire that claimed the lives of 40 migrants in a Mexican immigration detention facility on March 27.
“I received reports they were making a peaceful manifestation at (PND). If there is no obstruction (to traffic), we won’t do anything,” Mayor Cruz Perez Cuellar said at a Monday morning news conference on Facebook Live.
