The mass crossing was caught on video by people waiting at the nearby San Ysidro Port of Entry's PedWest midday Sunday
Nearly 100 people crossed into the U.S. from the Tijuana River channel on Sunday morning, an incident that was captured on video by people in waiting line at the PedWest crossing nearby in San Ysidro. The group — 98 people of various nationalities — turned themselves in to U.S. Border Patrol agents about 11:35 a.m., U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said in a statement. The group was transported to CBP facilities for processing.
The area is guarded by Mexico’s National Guard and Mexican immigration agents. Enrique Lucero, director of the Tijuana's Migrant Affairs Office, said Monday that the group passed through a section where the chain-link fence had been cut. In November, a man died after crossing through the channel with dozens of people. Mexican officials said Monday that they hadn’t seen another crossing with so many people in the area since around that time.
