As many as 15,000 migrants, who were mostly from Haiti, had been packed into a squalid tent city beneath a bridge.
The massive migrant encampment in the Texas border town of Del Rio has been completely cleared out. As many as 15,000 migrants, who were mostly from Haiti, had been packed into a squalid tent city beneath a bridge near the Rio Grande this week, hoping to be processed for asylum. «As of right now, there are zero persons under the bridge,» Del Rio Mayor Bruno Lozano said Friday. Of the almost 15,000 migrants, at least 2,000 were deported and 5,000 are still being processed and could be expelled, according to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The rest, officials said, were either released into the U.S. under the asylum process or returned to Mexico voluntarily.
