Mexican officials released around 20,000 migrants in Tapachula ahead of the country’s national independence day, according to Center for Immigration Studies Senior National Security Fellow Todd Bensman.
“Everyone [the migrants] was telling me, ‘they [Mexican officials] were having some kind of celebration and they told us to get out of the way for the festivities,’” Bensman told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
