There are fears that an armed caravan of migrants with bombs and weapons

The second caravan of immigrants, who is believed to be armed with bombs and weapons, crossed the border with Mexico on Monday, despite the huge number of police.

Hundreds of migrants following the route of the first caravan heading for the US border crossed the river from Guatemala, writes Daily Mail.

A police helicopter "hung" over the heads of migrants, who in large groups tried to cross the muddy waters of the River Sucain, trying to use the downward flow of their rotors to prevent them from crossing it.

The Noti7 channel in Guatemala reported that one person drowned. The channel showed a video of a man pulling a seemingly lifeless body from a river.

The second group on the border of Guatemala was more undisciplined than the first, which crossed the border. The Guatemalan Ministry of the Interior reported that Guatemalan police were injured when a group of migrants broke through the border barriers on the bridge.

Mexican authorities claimed that migrants attacked policemen with stones, glass bottles and fireworks when they broke through the gate on the Mexican border.

On Monday, Mexican Interior Minister Alfonso Navarret Prida called the second caravan "a violent attempt" to storm the border, accusing people of setting themselves elderly, pregnant women and children, putting them at risk of being crushed.

“Fortunately, that didn’t happen,” he said.

The previous caravan currently has about 4000 people, but is declining. At the beginning of this year, only about 200 from a caravan in about 1000 migrants reached the Tijuana-San Diego border.

At the same time, it became known that the Pentagon would use the Army Corps of Engineers on the border, including for “the construction of a wall, vehicle barriers, and fencing,” writes “Voice of America«.

“We also host three middle-class helicopter companies, equipped with the latest technology. Helicopters will ensure the arrival of employees of the US Customs and Border Protection Service (TPR) in hard-to-reach places. In addition, we will deploy military police units and strategic air transport. At the moment, the three C-130 and C-17 aircraft are ready to deliver the TPS personnel at any place and time. We also deployed medical facilities, ”said Terrence O'Shaughnessy.

He also added that 35 kilometers of portable wire barriers are deployed on the south-eastern border of the United States and there are enough of them to secure another 240 kilometers. “By the end of the week, we will deploy 5200 troops at the border,” said Terrence O'Shaughnessy. “This is in addition to the 2092 National Guard soldiers.”

According to Terrence O'Shaughnessy, as part of Operation Faithful Patriot, military personnel will be deployed at the border with weapons.

President Donald Trump said his administration plans to build tent cities for thousands of migrants.

“If they file an application for asylum, we will delay them until the court hearings on their case,” Trump said. - We will delay them, we will build tent camps, put up tents everywhere.

We will not build buildings and spend hundreds of millions of dollars on it. We will put up tents, they will be very good, and they will have to wait. If they do not get asylum, they will be expelled. "

In recent weeks, Trump has conducted an intense campaign, often raising the issue of a caravan of migrants.
