Mexico’s foreign ministry has asked the US government to launch a “full investigation” into the use of non-lethal weapon directed toward Mexican territory along the two countries’ shared border on Sunday, a statement said.
Per Reuters, the US Border Patrol fired tear gas canisters toward migrants in Mexico on Sunday near the border crossing that separates the Mexican city of Tijuana from San Diego, California, after some of them tried to cross into the United States.
A spokesperson for the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) confirmed that its agents used “crowd dispersing devices” — including pepper ball launching systems and CS canisters, commonly known as tear gas — to “stop the migrants from illegally entering the United States.
