The Mexican Foreign Ministry sent a note to the United States asking Washington to investigate the use of tear gas at the US-Mexican border.
On Sunday, a group of some 500 migrants attempted to enter the United States at the US-Mexico border near the city of Tijuana intending to seek asylum. According to the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) service, several asylum seekers threw projectiles at agents, who then responded with tear gas and rubber bullets.
“The Foreign Ministry sent a diplomatic note to the US Embassy over the incidents that occurred on November 25 in the Tijuana — San Diego border zone,” the note said on Monday adding that Mexico was asking the United States to investigate the use of non-lethal weapons by US border guards.
