CIUDAD JUAREZ (Reuters) – Mexican authorities on Tuesday removed almost 100 Mexican migrants seeking asylum in the United States from a camp in downtown Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, according to a Reuters witness, after state police threatened to separate parents from their children. The operation came a day after news that the United States will deport some Mexican asylum seekers to Guatemala. Mexican authorities have for months tried to move the migrants from outdoor camps into shelters, citing cold weather, as temperatures dropped below freezing. In the video, the man orders the migrants to leave the camp by Tuesday and move to a shelter. The family of five eventually relocated to a shelter together with the other migrants.
