A group of mostly Venezuelan migrants, packed in the hundreds, stormed Sunday toward the El Paso border bridge, which connects Ciudad Juárez to New Mexico and western Texas. There, US border law enforcement stopped their advance at a barricade.
The migrants said they were told in Mexican territory that they would be allowed to enter because the day was celebrated as migrants’ day in the region. Authorities later realized that it was a strategy of traffickers to force immigrants into the United States.
All the tensions, allegations and frustrations were thus portrayed by AFP.
