Mexico: 2 Honduran Teenagers Who Traveled with Migrant Caravan Killed

HeadlineDec 20, 2018

In Tijuana, Mexico, two Honduran teenagers who traveled to the U.S.-Mexico border with the migrant caravan have been killed. The teenage boys, believed to be aged 16 and 17, were reportedly strangled and stabbed after leaving the migrant youth shelter where they were staying. Two men and one woman have been arrested and charged in the case, according to local authorities.

In more news from the border, Maria Lila Meza Castro, the Honduran woman who was captured in a viral Reuters photograph fleeing from a border tear gas attack with her children, is reportedly now in the U.S. California Congressmembers Jimmy Gomez and Nanette Barragán said Meza and her five children had been taken in and their asylum request is currently being processed.
