Mexico Moves migrants from the caravan from an overcrowded shelter to a concert venue because of Unsanitary conditions caused by heavy rain at the border - as the US confirms 4,000 Troops will be there until January
Authorities in the Mexican city of Tijuana said Friday they have begun moving Central American migrants from an overcrowded shelter on the border to an events hall further away.
About 755 migrants boarded buses at the overcrowded sports complex within view of the border late Thursday and early Friday for the trip to the new site about 10 miles (15 kilometers) from the nearest border crossing.
Alejandro Magallanes, an assistant to the director of the city's social services department, said authorities hoped to bus over as many migrants as possible Friday. Concerns had been growing over unhealthy conditions at the muddy sports field where migrants are sleeping in small tents.
Magallanes said nobody would be forced to move to the new facility, a large building known as El Barretal that has been used for concerts and other events in the past.
But city officials planned to stop offering food and medical services at the Benito Juarez sports complex next to the border on Friday.
