The Trump administration says it will begin sending some asylum seekers to Mexico while their cases are processed in the United States. The Department of Homeland Security said late Thursday it will begin returning Central American asylum seekers to Tijuana, Mexico, across the San Ysidro Port of Entry near San Diego, California, beginning today. Immigrant rights groups say the plan violates both U.S. and international asylum laws, and are planning court challenges.
