Mexico Raids Tijuana Camp Home to Hundreds of Asylum Seekers Denied U.S. Entry
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, some 380 migrants - including families with young children -
were evicted from a makeshift border camp in the city of Tijuana Sunday
morning. Dozens of Mexican National Guard, Army soldiers and municipal
police raided the camp where the migrants, mostly from Central America,
had been forced to live for nearly one year - due to the Biden
administration's ongoing enforcement of policies that have blocked
people from entering the U.S. to apply for asylum. This is a migrant
from El Salvador.

José Contreras: "We are caught off guard. We don't know where we will be
taken. A shelter? I don't know. I don't know what the Mexican
authorities are going to do with us. We don't know what they're going to
do."
