The Mayor of Tijuana, Juan Manuel Gastelum Buenrostro, received an order by a Mexican Federal Judge ordering him to remain silent about the problems caused by caravans or migrants that are flooding his city.

The Central American migrant caravans may seem like old news, but the narratives offered by the mainstream media clashed with reality sharply one week ago when a particular caravan found itself stopped at the US border in the Mexican city of Tijuana.

One of the biggest running news stories in the United States is about the Central American migrant “caravans” that have been crossing Mexico towards the US borders. The present events seem to be both instigation and tests of the willpower of President Trump, testing his words about not letting anyone cross the border illegally.

About 60% of the migrants treated have respiratory illnesses, with three confirmed cases of tuberculosis, four cases of HIV/AIDS and four cases of chickenpox. Officials worry that Hepatitis could break out in the unsanitary conditions. Some are accepting free flights home.
