Migrants attempt US-Mexico border crossing after storm destroys camp
June 7, 2023
MATAMOROS, MEXICO (AFP) – Hundreds of migrants, including children and teenagers, tried to cross Mexico’s border to the United States (US) on Monday after a storm destroyed a makeshift camp where they had been staying, Mexican local media reported.
The migrants, mainly from Venezuela, El Salvador and Honduras, tried to reach the US from the northern Mexico town of Matamoros, according to local media.
It is the first incident of this size to occur at the border since the US ended in May its Title 42 migration policy, which allowed Washington to immediately expel undocumented migrants on public health grounds during the COVID-19 pandemic.
