Mexican authorities on Tuesday began removing Haitians away from the U.S. border on prepared flights and buses, assisting the United States in its large-scale expulsion efforts, authorities said.

Thousands of Haitians who had amassed under and near a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, about 60 miles northwest of Piedras Negras and Eagle Pass, in recent days, faced a ramped-up U.S. expulsion effort, with more than 6,500 from the area removed by Monday.
