Caravan of migrants reaches US border, temporarily turned away by Border Patrol (ABC News)
A caravan of people from Central America seeking asylum in the United States reached the U.S.-Mexico border at San Diego where Border Patrol authorities said they are unable to process them due to space constraints.
The Border Patrol facility at San Ysidro in San Diego won't be processing any more people hoping to enter the U.S. "until space becomes available," U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said in a statement Sunday afternoon.
McAleenan added that once space opens up and "resources become available," officers "will be able to take additional individuals into the port for processing."
Alex Mensing, an organizer with an advocacy group supporting the roughly 100 travelers at the border, told ABC's "Start Here" podcast on Sunday that caravan members were told that "twenty people can wait next to the door, but they would not be processed, and they would not say how long we will have to wait."
