U.S. shuts border bridge to stop migrants from Mexico

U.S. authorities closed the busy Ciudad Juarez-El Paso border bridge, after more than a hundred Cuban migrants tried to cross in response to a court ruling suspending an asylum policy.

The policy has forced roughly 60,000 people back to Mexico under the Migrant Protection Protocols.The Trump administration said that at least 25,000 migrants sent back through the program were still in Mexico. In response, the appeals court has put its ruling on hold.
