Mexico: 2 Honduran Teenagers Who Traveled with Migrant Caravan Killed
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Tijuana, Mexico, two Honduran teenagers who traveled to the
U.S.-Mexico border with the migrant caravan have been killed. The
teenage boys, believed to be aged 16 and 17, were reportedly strangled
and stabbed after leaving the migrant youth shelter where they were
staying. Two men and one woman have been arrested and charged in the
case, according to local authorities.

In more news from the border, Maria Lila Meza Castro, the Honduran woman
who was captured in a viral Reuters photograph fleeing from a border
tear gas attack with her children, is reportedly now in the U.S.
California Congressmembers Jimmy Gomez and Nanette Barragán said Meza
and her five children had been taken in and their asylum request is
currently being processed.
