Una frontera militarizada: Texas despliega a la Guardia Nacional para controlar el flujo de migrantes

12/21/2022 28

Más de 400 agentes de la Guardia Nacional están en la frontera para contener el cruce de migrantes mientras en la Corte Suprema se libra una batalla legal por el fin de las restricciones contenidas en el Título 42. Cientos de personas que buscaban cruzar a EEUU se encontraron con alambres de púas y cuchillas y agentes armados que impedían el paso.
