Mexico called on the United States Thursday to investigate the use of force by border patrol agents against members of a Central American migrant caravan who tried to rush the US-Mexican border on New Year’s. “The foreign ministry sent a diplomatic cable today to the United States embassy about the incident that occurred on January 1 in the border zone… In it, the ministry requested an exhaustive investigation of events that day,” it said in a statement. Mexico also repeated its call for an investigation into a similar incident on November 25, when some 1,000 migrants from the caravan tried to force their way into the United States and were pushed back by border patrol agents.
