Hundreds of migrants rushed the southern United States border in California on Nov. 25, while chucking projectiles at Border Patrol agents. They were pushed back by tear gas and some will be deported by Mexico.

Hundreds of people rushed the border, dismantled part of the fence, and began streaming through the opening. But they were pushed back by tear gas launched by United States officers as they tried to cross a second wall.

Mexican Interior Minister Alfonso Navarrete said that the migrants were encouraged by some of the caravan’s leaders to rush the border.

The group managed to bypass a security cordon and scrambled to try and dismantle the fence and illegally enter the United States. Some 2,000 migrants participated, a Mexican federal police officer at the scene told The Epoch Times.
Now Mexican authorities say they'll deport a portion of the 500 of the migrants who tried to enter America.
