Mexico to let Migrants Remain While US Asylum Claims Proceed

by Associated Press

   MEXICO CITY --

   Mexico has agreed to a U.S. proposal to let third-country migrants
   remain in or be returned to Mexico while their claims for asylum in the
   United States are being processed.

   The decision was a historic one for Mexico, which has traditionally
   refused to accept the return of any migrants who aren't Mexican.

   Mexico's Foreign relations Department said Thursday the move i a
   temporary, humanitarian measure.
   The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has been struggling
   with an increase in asylum claims and limits on its ability to detain
   asylum seekers
