Mexican officials clear border tent camp as US pressure mounts to curb migrant numbers
Migrants wait to be processed by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol after they crossed the Rio Grande and entered the U.S. from Mexico, October 19, 2023
MEXICAN officials cleared a migrant tent camp next to the US border in Matamoros on Wednesday.
US officials have been ramping up the pressure on Mexico to reduce the number of migrants reaching the border, closing key border rail crossings into Texas to stop people hopping freight cars into the country.
Migrants set up the Matamoros encampment on the Rio Grande, across from Brownsville, Texas, in late 2022.
