Nogales, Son
More than 60 families of Central American migrants were taken last Wednesday to a church in Mesa, Arizona,
where they spent the night and then continue their way to different states of the American Union.
The journalist Oscar Gómez, reported in collaboration that the group is mostly made up of women, men and children,
who waited for their turn to enter the country in Nogales, Sonora, and four days ago they managed to be assisted.
He added that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported that he released one hundred migrants at a station in southern Arizona this week,
because they no longer had space for them.
He said that there is also a lack of spaces in churches, since many do not house women or men.
In the church in Mesa, ICE officials were present to confirm the attention to the 60 families
and as it would be a repetitive dynamic in the near future,
since with dozens of families that are crossing daily.
"They came from Guatemala, Honduras and Venezuela, are the families who arrived in Mesa, Arizona
and were waiting fifteen days in Nogales to cross and ask for asylum,
four days ago they succeeded and today they are in Mesa"
The journalist added that Customs and Border Protection (CBP, for its acronym in English) reported this Thursday morning the temporary closure of the POE of San Luis, Arizona, due to exercises of the Border Patrol and militiary on tactics of containment of migrants
