Days after President-elect Donald Trump laid down the law to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo about blocking illegal immigrants from entering the United States, Mexico acted.
Two caravans of illegal immigrants that were hoping to reach the U.S. border were broken up Saturday by Mexican officials, according to the Associated Press.
Activist Luis García Villagrán, who supports the illegal immigrants, said the caravans were broken up based on “an agreement between the president of Mexico and the president of the United States.”
