Mexico Preparing to Deploy Militarized Police to Stanch Flow of Immigrants Surging to Border
Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that Mexico will send in authorities at its border with Guatemala, in order to cut migration from the so-called "Northern Triangle" countries of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
At the forefront of the security drive will be the National Guard militarized police, which previously led efforts to bring down the number of illegal immigrants entering Mexico from Central America in 2019, the outlet reported Wednesday.
"The operations will be more frequent, more continuous and we will be taking part," by next week, a member of the National Guard, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.
Mexico's security response comes amid a growing wave of immigration attempts at the U.S. border. The surge has already reached a 20-year high, and is expected to get even worse throughout the month of March.
