Huehuetan, #Mexico

Migrants walk along the Huixtla highway hoping to reach the country’s northern border and ultimately the United States. Donald Trump’s promise to deport millions of undocumented migrants had no “price tag”, the president-elect said, setting the scene for a confrontation between his incoming administration and Democratic officials across the US.

Texas hospitals must now ask patients whether they’re in the U.S. legally. Here’s how it works.

Texas hospital patients will be asked if they’re in the U.S. legally starting Friday. The new policy stems from an order by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and it escalates the state’s clash with the Biden administration over immigration.

The picture captures Jorge Luna attempting a jump at the point where the wall meets the sea. This crossing is particularly hazardous, due to strong currents and heightened militarisation.
