Thousands cross US southern border illegally following fire at nearby migrant center

Authorities in Brownsville, Texas, processed at least 2,000 undocumented immigrants who crossed into the United States starting on Monday evening, April 24, local police said. The immigrants were primarily from Venezuela, and included families with small children, the Brownsville Police Department said. Their crossing came days after a fire was set at a makeshift camp across the border in Matamoros. Credit: Brownsville PD via Storyful
