People outside the outdoor shelter are signing up to leave Mexico and return home. Many cite fear of staying after yesterday’s clash at the border and discrimination in Tijuana from residents.
“The border is not like people and the news back home says it is...they said it was safe and easy,” said Javier Gonzalez, who is voluntarily going home. “We came to find the American dream and all we found was a nightmare.”
An agent with Grupos Beta, the humanitarian arm of Mexico’s immigration authority, told me 30 people from the caravan have elected to self deport this morning. It’s double than the 15 they get daily and believe it’s because people are scared after yesterday.

The results of surveys of over 1,100 undocumented Mexican immigrants who were deported, published in light of Jakelin Caal's death in CBP custody, found that of those who needed and asked for medical care 37 % were denied cmsny.org/publications/s…
Among unaccompanied minors researchers (@slackjeremy) found that 38% who needed medical attention and asked for it were refused.
@slackjeremy People who speak an indigenous
language, like Jakelin Caal and her father, are less likely to receive care than Spanish-speakers. While nearly 36% of non-indigenous language speakers received care, only 24% of indigenous language speakers did.

Statement from @JoaquinCastrotx on the death of Felipe Alonzo-Gomez, the 8 yr old who died last night in CBP custody.

“Many questions remain unanswered, including how many children have died in CBP custody.”
An official with knowledge of Felipe’s death told me the 8 yr old had been detained by CBP for a whole week before he died. He and his father were detained since Dec. 18 after crossing into the US in El Paso, Texas.

Many of my followers know Dec. 14th, 2018, I filed a lawsuit against my old colleague, frmr. #FastNFurious U.S. Atty Dennis Burke, in Fed. Court for the District of MA. ▶️Today, a First Amended Complaint was filed. New info starts on page 51, para. 222.◀️ scribd.com/document/39681…
Remember, frmr. U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, my old colleague, was the United States Attorney who resigned in shame during one of the best known scandals of the Obama presidency, known as Fast and Furious, in which guns were trafficked to Mexican drug cartels. #TRUTH #MAGA #TRUMP
In the Fast and Furious scandal, Burke was called a "leaker and a liar" by frmr. Dep. A.G., James Cole. My lawsuit connects Burke to corrupt interests, including the #NXIVM cult. Burke has recently been named by prosecutors in the #NXIVM investigation. frankreport.com/2018/12/31/bur…

Dear Twitter Diary:
This is not Victor Asemota. This is Val Osaka from Japan. I have taken over his account as he has been banished from Twitter for a while.

Let's talk about market creation in Africa in a few tweets. We will be expanding on theories put forward by @EfosaOjomo
Efosa says that when creating markets, you should not go after incumbents but non-consumption. African governments are the biggest incumbents around and the greatest non-consumption of African governance is in the Diaspora.
So, if Africans really want to create valuable markets, they should really start from the Diaspora. It is not a fluke that the Diaspora became the largest early adopter of Nollywood content. I also know someone who does millions of dollars of African food export from Ghana

No evidence: the drug wore off, he used a condom, she woke up confused and drove home after the humiliating conversation. They were friendly the day before and she accepted his offer to stay over instead of taking the road so late. No witnesses. The perfect #crime. #FicFri
Overdose survived. She flirted with him until he invited her over again. She denied him nothing in bed, she was #obsequious. “I’ve got a surprise”, she said, and massaged his feet as he sipped the wine she gave him. He died of sepsis a week later. #vss365 #AmWriting
“He committed #treason against the sacred dojo. He disgraced the sport”, they said. “Perhaps. I am still going to the cremation ceremony. We must protect our art and not speak ill of a dead coach”, she said. “If he has a #soul, it will burn in hell”, they said. #FP #FridayKiss

Mexicans are headed to the polls today to elect a new President... #AMLO is the favorite, many have called him #Mexico’s answer to @realDonaldTrump analysts say that might not be true and voters think he’ll stick up to #Trump who say their current President #Nieto never did
87 million Mexicans (who live in and out of the country) are registered to vote. Juan Gomez-Cruces, 35, who lives in Atlanta, was so unhappy with all the candidates, he just wrote an “X” on his early ballot and sent it back to #Mexico -Read more @NBCLatino nbcnews.to/2KAlZNi
Gomez-Cruces says he watched all 3 debates and one was more disappointing than the next. One debate: candidate ‘El Bronco’ says - “we need to cut off the hand of anyone who steals in the public service.” The moderator asks “literally?” ‘El Bronco’ replies “literally.”
