DHS officials said border facilities had been overwhelmed by families seeking asylum, fleeing poverty and violence in Central America
After the Second World War, when both countries reached an agreement for Mexicans to work the fields in the U.S. from 1942 to 1965
Mexico’s Interior Minister Olga Sánchez Cordero warned that a new migrant caravan was forming in Honduras
Mexican President said the U.S. and Central American countries should solve the issue
Unidentified gunmen began shooting at police to prevent the rescue
The U.S. has so far returned more than 240 asylum seekers since starting the program in January

Mexico will search for tens of thousands of people who are registered as missing, a lead official said
This case is similar to one that took place in August 2010, when 72 undocumented migrants from Central and South America were murdered by the Zetas cartel in Tamaulipas
The truck was carrying 56 Central-Americans who were headed to the United States
