An estimated 30 to 35 migrants breached the U.S.-Mexico border at Tijuana on Wednesday and Thursday. Most were picked up by Border Patrol agents.
A group of migrants who breached the U.S.-Mexico border fence by the Pacific Ocean at Playas de Tijuana was detained Thursday by Border Patrol agents in Border Field State Park on the U.S. side.
Agents with the Border Patrol had the group sit on the edge of a muddy trail while they collected their belongings into paper bags.One member of the group, a man in his early 20s, was detained separately and kept his eyes closed as he was loaded into a separate van.Access to the area is typically closed to vehicles during periods of wet weather. The area where the migrants were stopped is about a mile from the parking lot at the entrance to Border Field State Park.
On Wednesday, photojournalist Thomas E. Franklin, an assistant professor of multiplatform journalism at Montclair State University in New Jersey, captured video of migrants slipping through the porous border fence in Playas, where a section of the lattice fencing had been pulled back. Franklin went back to the fence Thursday to see whether it had been repaired.
