Immigration Agency: Nuevo Laredo and Protection Protocols

immigration agency: Lucia Ascencio of Venezuela had waited for three months in Nuevo Laredo with her husband and two young sons just for the chance to make her asylum petition in Laredo, Texas, according to CTV. She was stunned by her return to Mexico as they walked from the bridge carrying plastic bags containing a bottle of water, a bottle of juice and an orange. The 10 migrants crossed the border to seek U.S. asylum Monday and will now have to wait in Mexico as their applications are processed. We hadn't thought that they were going to send us back, she said. A spokeswoman with Mexico's immigration agency confirmed that the first group of 10 returned Tuesday under the program, which is formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols. Her family was given a date in September to return for the next step in their process. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
