Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Apr 8 (efe-epa).- More than 15,000 unaccompanied minors, most of them from Central America, were intercepted trying to enter the United States during the first two months of this year and youngsters are among the migrants who have ended up at a shelter in this gritty, violent border metropolis.
Mexico’s INM immigration agency said last week that a 4-year-old Honduran boy was found in Reynosa near the banks of the Rio Grande River, which separates Mexico from the US.
He was traveling with nine other people, including three adult women, but none of them was related to him.
