CIUDAD HIDALGO, Mexico - About 400 Central American migrants crossed into Mexico on Tuesday with the aim of reaching the U.S. border to request asylum. Mexican police looked on as about half the migrants crossed the Suchiate River on inner-tube rafts. The mainly Honduran migrants then walked into the border city of Ciudad Hidalgo to rest in the main plaza. The other half of the migrants walked over the bridge that connects Mexico and Guatemala and waited to register at a Mexican immigration office. Mexico has been discouraging mass marches along highways, as migrant caravans did in past months.
