MEXICO CITY: Mexican authorities have cleared a makeshift encampment of migrants in the northern border city of Reynosa that had grown over the past year to hold some 2,000 people, Mexico's migration institute said on Tuesday .

The Reynosa camp formed in March 2021 in a public plaza right across the US border from McAllen, Texas. Many of the people camping in tents or under tarps say they fled violence or persecution in their home countries. The Reynosa camp had concerned migrant advocates due to its location in one of Mexico's most dangerous border cities. In February, Mexican authorities also cleared out a major migrant camp in the border city of Tijuana where activists had criticized the conditions.

Although President Joe Biden's administration said in March it would end the measure by May 23, a US judge has temporarily stopped authorities from proceeding.
