At least 1,300 migrants, mostly from Cuba, broke out of an immigration detention center in Southern Mexico on April 25. The incident, authorities said, shows how a surge in arrivals has stretched the country’s resources to the limit.
The moment of the break out was recorded on camera and posted by media Azteca Noticias. The footage depicted throngs of migrants running out of the facility on foot as security appeared overwhelmed. It’s unclear if there were any injuries during the incident.
