On Sunday, a large group of mainly Venezuelan migrants attempted to breach the border at the Paso Del Norte International Bridge, which links El Paso to Juarez, Mexico. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, Border Patrol Agents, and El Paso Police responded to the incident, setting up traffic barriers, concertina wire, and agents in riot gear. The group had been frustrated by delays and difficulties in applying for asylum and had gathered near the bridge entrance due to a rumor of a "day of the migrant" celebration. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of following the proper procedures for seeking asylum and the need for increased security at the U.S.-Mexico border.
