Tijuana Police: Border Officials and Car Lanes

tijuana police: Border officials soon stopped him, according to Hamilton Spectator. Unable to show legal documents to enter the U.S., Olivas Valencia was detained, and the following morning, deported. Passing through the car lanes of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, the busiest land border crossing in the Western Hemisphere, his odds of making it past immigration authorities were slim. Less than an hour later, Olivas Valencia was seen on a bridge a few hundred feet away from the office where he was deported, throwing himself off it into the dry channel below. Tijuana police found the man shortly after 9 a.m. Witnesses told local media outlets that the man appeared to be in major distress, and could be heard shouting that he did not want to return to Mexico.
