Riots, Burned Mattresses in Tijuana Immigration Facility

Epoch Times: SAN DIEGO—A group of migrants set fire to a mattress, sheets, and blankets during a riot inside an immigration facility in Tijuana, Mexico, on April 1.

Fifty-one people were evacuated and six—including two children 2 and 4 years old—had to be treated for smoke inhalation, according to reports.

Two young men from Guatemala, another two from Cuba, and one from India, allegedly burned the mattress and sheets in the bathroom, damaging the inside of the immigration facility where the migrants were being held, the director of the Tijuana Fire Department, José Luis Jiménez, told Mexican newspaper Milenio.

The National Migration Institute facility, where the riot took place, is approximately 6 miles south of the San Ysidro Port of Entry that separates San Diego from Tijuana. It is one of the busiest ports of entry along the southwest border.

Jiménez said the suspects were arrested and have been turned over to the federal police and immigration authorities and are expected to be deported to their home countries.  more

  1. Mattress, sheets, blankets, immigration facility, bathroom?!?!

    I’m so confused.

    The media has been telling me they are held in cages, like animals, sleep on dirt and piss and crap in that same cage. They are also all children who love everyone and everything and would never set fire to anything like some average lunatic American citizen would.
