About 500 Haitians headed toward the U.S. border have been ordered off buses by Mexican immigration authorities. Some of the Haitians in the state of Tamaulipas tried to continue the journey on foot.
Immigration agents and National Guard officers stopped the buses at a highway checkpoint near the town of San Fernando, about 120 miles south of the Texas border, the state government said in a press release.
The migrants stopped in Tamaulipas told local media they had boarded about 15 buses in the city of Poza Rica, Veracruz, and were headed to Reynosa, Tamaulipas, across the border from McAllen, Texas.Many Haitians have applied for asylum or refugee status in Mexico, but they are not allowed to travel outside the state where they made those applications.
