HUMANITARIAN MOVE OR IMMIGRATION 'TRICK'? - Mexican authorities shut down a crowded, unsanitary and mud-filled shelter at a sports complex, moving the remaining migrants who want to enter the U.S. to a new, government-run facility that's further from the border ... The migrants were taken by bus to the new shelter about 10 miles from the border crossing at Otay Mesa and 14 miles from San Ysidro, near where people line up to file applications for asylum in the United States. Officials in Tijuana cited "bad sanitary conditions" - mud lice, respiratory infections - as the reason for closing the sports complex shelter that holds up to 6,000 people. Still, some of the migrants were reportedly wary of the Mexican government's efforts. “People are distrustful that it’s an immigration trick, that it’s not what they say it is and that they will really be deported,” Amelia Frank-Vitale, an immigration expert who has traveled with migrant caravans, told the Washington Post. - Reported by Christopher Carbone (@christocarbone on Twitter)
