Just watched 2 groups of Africans from Congo and Angola cross illegally into Mexico from Guatemala across the Suchiate River on tube rafts. 8 men, 4 woman, 6 kids.
One guy from Angola said he took a boat to Colombia (10 days), walked through jungle for 10 days, and has spent 2 months getting this far (to Mexico).

Angolan woman said she flew to Panama first. She has a 2yo with her.
Mexico's Foreign Minister said the 6k troop deployment was complete for the Mexico-Guatamala border, but none have shown up at this busy crossing in southeast Mexico.

Related info from the other day in Tapachula, Mexico:
This morning, a group of Haitians illegally crossed the Suchiate River from Guatemala to Mexico.

8 men, 1 woman, 1 child.

One man said he travelled via Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico. Others via Brazil.
Hwy checkpoint just south of Tapachula Mex. 25 mile drive from Suchiate river border with Guat.

We’re told a lot of Central Americans were stopped here this morning. They will likely get deported.

If African or Haitian, they’re taken to main detention center for transit card.
Finally! Found a handful of Mex National Guard troops. Stationed at a highway checkpoint 25 miles north of Mex-Guat border near Tapachula, Mexico. Providing security for immigration officials. Saw several more providing security at main immigration detention center in Tapachula.
