The migrant caravan that President Donald Trump so fretted about before the election has arrived at the U.S. border. They are currently locked in Mexico, as the United States has closed the border on both sides. The U.S. closed the border in response to a migrant march in Mexico. The migrants planned to march peacefully, but they ended up rushing for the U.S. border.

According to the New York Times:

Soon after the migrants began their midday march to the border in Tijuana, Mexico, they were met by Mexican federal police officers at a bridge that leads to the San Ysidro border crossing, through which millions of people and vehicles pass each year. At that point, many of the marchers bypassed the police by running across a dry riverbed…A smaller group of migrants then tried to make their way to a train border crossing some 10 minutes away, where they were stopped by tear gas released by officers of the United States Customs and Border Protection.

At other crossings, at least one migrant has allegedly thrown rocks at border patrol agents.

Meanwhile the city of Tijuana has declared a humanitarian crisis as a result of the 5,000 migrants camped in the city. The Mexican government has refused to help the city, which has asked the United Nation for aide.

Incidentally, Trump stopped talking about the migrant caravan after the election, indicating that he only using the migrant caravan as a political expedient.
