A group of migrant rushed an asylum office in southern Mexico, trampling over each in an attempt to demand legal documents.
The migrants, mostly Haiti nationals, were seen on video knocking down metal barricades and storming the office in Tapachula on Monday.
Some of the migrants were able to get past National Guard officers and the municipal police who were guarding the center, which is operated by the Mexican Commission for Refugee Aid.
The group, which also includes migrants from Cuba and Honduras, have grown frustrated with the Mexican government's ability to process their asylum requests.
Papers that they're seeking would allow them to travel freely and eventually reach the United States southern border region with Mexico.
