Immigrants frustrated after waiting on the southern side of the United States border wall staged a mass crossing late Tuesday, captured in a video that has since gone viral.
Several hundred immigrants stormed past Mexican authorities, chanting and cheering in a chaotic scene as they paraded toward the border, intent on crossing and being admitted through locked gates in the wall.Mexican officials did nothing to stop the caravan. One officer smoked as he watched the group walk past him and others watched the group march by.
Immigrants apprehended by Border Patrol are typically allowed through the gates and then held at the border for several hours while agents arrange transportation to processing centers, where each person is interviewed, fingerprinted, and given the chance to shower and eat. Border Patrol, a federal law enforcement organization, takes immigrants into custody even if they are outside a fence or barrier because they are still illegally present in the country and have a right to seek asylum.
Immigrants who are released from custody are allowed to remain in the United States through removal proceedings.
