Authorities in Mexico say they have relocated a migrant camp in a park in the border city of Reynosa and moved some 2,000 people to a shelter across the border from McAllen, Texas.
— Authorities in Mexico announced on May 3 that they had relocated a migrant camp in a park in the border city of Reynosa, moving some 2,000 people from Central American and Haiti to a shelter in the city, across the border from McAllen, Texas.
Mexico's National Immigration Institute said the migrants were taken near midnight Monday to the shelter, which it said will have better hygiene and food services. Bishop Enrique Sánchez Martínez said migrants started streaming into Nuevo Laredo in late April, though the city isn't usually popular among migrants, in part because it is dominated by the violent Northeast drug cartel.
Marvin Ajic, the director of the Casa Nazareth shelter, said that around April 16, Mexican authorities notified the shelters that the United States would resume processing asylum claims for humanitarian reasons.
