THE LEAD STORY - PLAN IN PLACE FOR A CARAVAN OF THOUSANDS: U.S. and Mexican officials have agreed on a plan to handle the approaching migrant caravan making their way up from Central America, a senior administration official told FOX News on Thursday ... Under the deal, which was developed over the course of several months, Mexico requested that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) establish shelters along its southern border with Central America, the official said. If an individual manages to evade the new system and travels through Mexico to eventually cross the border into the U.S., Mexico will now allow those persons to be returned to Mexico, the official told FOX News. At the established shelters, U.N. officials will vet the refugees to decide which ones have legitimate claims for refugee status, the official told FOX News.
At a campaign rally in Montana on Thursday night, President Trump accused Democrats of supporting the caravan of migrants because they "figure everybody coming in is going to vote Democrat." The caravan, which started in Honduras last week, is currently bound for the U.S. As of Thursday, a migrant shelter located on the Guatemalan side of the border with Mexico said that hundreds of the caravan’s migrants had reached the area, according to The Associated Press. Earlier Thursday, the caravan drew the ire of President Trump, who threatened via Twitter military force and a closure of the U.S. southern border.
