There was confusion on Monday among northbound migrants in Tijuana, following the Trump administration’s latest effort toMany, like Milsa Garcia, hadn’t even heard of the plan. The 33-year-old Guatemalan woman has been in this sprawling border town for 15 days since she was deported back to Mexico, after being apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol after crossing the Rio Grande with her 4-year-old son on a raft.
Garcia left three other children at home under the care of her mother. She hopes that she will be able to cross into the United States and send money home to them. But she doesn’t want to stay in Mexico. “It’s very dangerous here, and there is no work.” Numerous immigrant rights groups and elected officials have denounced the move. Advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, vowed to challenge the new rule, but it was unclear if any court action would block it from taking effect on Tuesday as scheduled.
Leidy Rivas, along with her husband Gustavo Loza and two children, waits at the Movimiento Juventud 2000 shelter hoping to get a tent for the night.Her friend, Teresa Santos, sat beside her, nodding her head while her two children, ages 2 and 9, played with toys on the ground in front of her. Most of those staying at the shelter are women and children, whose tents are crammed together side by side.
