TIJUANA, Mexico — U.S. authorities fired tear gas into Mexico during the first hours of the new year to repel about 150 migrants who tried to breach the border fence in Tijuana. The AP saw rocks thrown only after U.S. agents fired the tear gas. The agency said agents saw “toddler sized children” being passed over concertina wire with difficulty. Agents responded with smoke, pepper spray and tear gas, it said. In a previous incident, U.S. agents launched tear gas across the border after some migrants tried to breach the border following a peaceful march in Tijuana on Nov. 26.
