Busloads of caravan migrants arrive overnight in Tijuana, where shelter already is over capacity

TIJUANA, Mexico — The latest wave of migrants traveling through northern Mexico as part of a large caravan began arriving overnight Tuesday and early Wednesday in Tijuana, where hundreds, and possibly thousands, more migrants are expected to follow in coming days.

Several charter buses arrived just after midnight Tuesday at the Unidad Deportiva Benito Juarez, the sports complex the city opened as a makeshift shelter. It’s unclear exactly how many migrants were in the latest group. But inside, there were 3,000 other migrants who had arrived in Tijuana since last week.

The municipal government opened up the Benito Juarez sports complex last Wednesday. Originally planned to hold 3,000 migrants, the latest arrivals have put the shelter over capacity.

So far, the city has not said whether they intend to open a second shelter as hundreds more migrants make their way to Tijuana.
