A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman says a large number of migrants in Mexico who tried to push their way into the United States were prevented from crossing a bridge leading to El Paso, Texas, from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
FILE - Cars line up at the Paso del Norte international bridge in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, below, on the border with El Paso, Texas, top, Nov. 8, 2021. A large group of migrants in Mexico who were poised to barge into the U.S. over the weekend were blocked from crossing the bridge, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesperson said.
Shouting “We want to get through!,” the migrants ran up to the center line of the bridge, where U.S. authorities had erected concrete and plastic barriers strung with concertina wire. The rush across the bridge may have been sparked by false rumors, said Camilo Cruz, who works with the U.N. migration office in Ciudad Juarez.
The worst thing, Cruz said, is that migrants often leave the shelters where they are staying to attend such mass crossing attempts, only to find the shelters full when they return.
