[danarauz at gmail.com]

This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRCVpu0_UtM Jessie, recorded
whatsapp convo on video, so we could listen directly.
For about 8 hours were driven around, some in a perrera (caged pickup
truck),
3 % percent of battery charge.
They were detoured to Agua prieta when their destination was Tijuana.
They say that they are very scared because they don't know what they will
do with them.

Asylum Seeker reporting..via whatsapp. (I made it into a video for
publishing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvmqLSALxto

Asylum Seekers from bus asking local to let Human Rights know.
Other man says they all were forced out of the bus.
They are coming to work, they are not delinquents.
At the end a local woman who provide food and drinks to them says words of
support and at the end also says, "they are scared".

>> in Agua Prieta, Hermosillo. Based on a video taken by a local woman, a
>> WhatsApp audio convo from one of the asylum seekers, and a report from
>> Pueblo Sin Fronteras, two busses were stopped about 11pm on the night of

>> The Mexican authorities involved in this scary stop and arrest were the

>> Court in Mexico City and notified to all authorities in the country, that
>> the busses should not be stopped and the asylum seekers be let pass.
>> Eventually all (about 60) were let go, some went to a refuge, and yesterday
>> at about 5am they continue their journey to Tijuana.

>> Also, as seen in the video, a child was with fever and the authorities
>> were told, but as woman says, the Mexican Immigration didn't care and
>> ignored them.
