Mexico Eliminates Migrant Camps on the Border with the USA

HAVANA TIMES – The camps of thousands of migrants in Ciudad Juárez, on the northern border of Mexico have disappeared recently, but activists in the area accuse the Mexican Government of violating the migrants human rights with its operations, which include taking them off the train and chasing them.
The edge of the Rio Bravo —or Rio Grande in the United States— in Ciudad Juárez, which in the last six months had been the place where more than a thousand migrants had set up camps, is now empty.
Patrols from the National Migration Institute of Mexico circulate 24/7, to prevent migrants from approaching the border with the United States in an operation that also includes taking them off the train known as “The Beast” before they can reach this border.
Human Rights activists questioned these actions of the Migration authorities because they say that taking migrants off the train and running them off the banks of the Rio Grande violates the human rights of people in transit.
