A group of about 400 mostly Central American migrants has arrived via train in Mexicali, Mexico—across the border from Calexico, California—and has been transported by buses to local shelters, Mexican media reported.
The group, which arrived March 6, is made up of 223 men, 96 women, and 38 children, many of whom are unaccompanied minors. Most of them are planning to go west to Tijuana, although resources there are so scarce that only 200 more people can be accommodated, said Gustavo Magallanes Cortés, the director of migrant affairs for Mexico’s Migrant Care government program.
