Mexican immigration authorities have cleared a park of camping Central American migrants and another makeshift encampment of Haitians and African migrants outside an immigration detention center near the Guatemala border.
It appeared Wednesday that most of the migrants had been transported to a fairgrounds on the outskirts of Tapachula that were already being used to house other migrants.
With the dual actions, authorities seemed to be trying to get a handle on a situation that was growing unsustainable. It was the second time they had transferred migrants camped outside the detention center to the fairgrounds. Newly arriving migrants had camped . . .
