Six women were rescued from the back of a refrigerated truck in France on Wednesday after one of them called a BBC journalist who alerted the local police. LONDON -- Six women were rescued from the back of a refrigerated truck in France after one of them called a journalist who alerted police, according to local authorities. The four Vietnamese and two Iraqi migrants were found in the back of an Ireland-registered truck carrying fruit to Italy, where they had been locked for hours at a temperature of 6°C (42°F), said Laëtitia Francart, the public prosecutor of Villefranche-sur-Saône.

Police said Thursday they believe the driver was not responsible and was cooperating in the investigation.

Mexico’s president says that about 10,000 migrants per day are heading to the U.S. border, and he blames U.S. economic sanctions on countries like Cuba and Venezuela for the influx MEXICO CITY -- Mexico’s president said Monday that about 10,000 migrants per day are heading to the U.S. border, and he blamed U.S. economic sanctions on countries like Cuba and Venezuela for the influx. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the number of migrant s reaching Mexico's northern border with the United States was partly due to about 6,000 migrant s per day crossing into Mexico from Guatemala over the past week. He said many of those migrants are traveling on a route through Central America that includes the jungle-clad Darien Gap region between Panama and Colombia. López Obrador seemed to join Colombian President Gustavo Petro in blaming the situation on U.S. sanctions on countries like Venezuela and Cuba, whose citizens make up a large part of the migrant flow. Experts say economic mis...

Haiti’s government has banned all charter flights to Nicaragua that migrants fleeing poverty and violence had been increasingly using in their quest to reach the United States PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- Haiti's government has banned all charter flights to Nicaragua that migrants fleeing poverty and violence had been increasingly using in their quest to reach the United States, according to a bulletin issued Monday that The Associated Press obtained. Haiti’s government did not provide an explanation for the decision in its bulletin, which was first reported by The Miami Herald. Civil aviation authorities in Haiti did not respond to a message seeking comment. The move left a couple of thousand angry and bewildered Travel ers stranded in a parking lot facing Haiti's main international airport in the capital of Port-au-Prince surrounded by their luggage, with some holding babies. “I have to seek a better life elsewhere because Haiti doesn’t offer my generation anything," said 2...

About 5,000 migrants from Central America, Venezuela, Cuba and Haiti have set out on foot to reach the U.S., walking north from Mexico's southern border TAPACHULA, Mexico -- About 5,000 migrants from Central America, Venezuela, Cuba and Haiti set out on foot from Mexico's southern border Monday, walking north toward the U.S. The migrants complained that processing for refugee or exit visas takes too long at Mexico’s main migrant processing center in the city of Tapachula, near the Guatemalan border. Under Mexico's overwhelmed migration system, people seeking such visas often wait for weeks or months, without being able to work. The migrants formed a long line Monday along the highway, escorted at times by police. The police are usually there to prevent them from blocking the entire highway, and sometimes keep them from hitching rides. Monday's march was among the largest since June 2022. Migrant caravans in 2018 and 2019 drew far greater attention. But with as many a...

British judges have given the go-ahead for the Court of Appeal to consider challenges to the British government’s plan to send some asylum-seekers on a one-way trip to Rwanda LONDON -- British judges gave the go-ahead on Monday for the Court of Appeal to consider challenge s to the U.K. government’s plan to send some asylum-seekers on a one-way trip to Rwanda. Two High Court judges ruled in December that the controversial policy is legal, rejecting a lawsuit from several asylum-seekers, aid groups and a border officials’ union. The same judges said Monday that the claimants can challenge that decision on issues including whether the plan is “systemically unfair” and whether asylum-seekers would be safe in Rwanda. No date has been set for the appeal hearing. The Conservative government struck a deportation agreement with Rwanda last year that is intended to deter migrants from trying to reach the U.K. on risky journeys across the English Channel. More than 45,000 people arrived in Bri...
