Migrants facing growing hostility in Mexico's northern border region | Video

Ciudad Juarez, Jul 24 (EFE).- When Estefania, a Colombian migrant, and her Venezuelan husband, Jhondeiby, were kidnapped along with their newborn baby in this city across from El Paso, Texas, they faced a perilous situation that also caused them to miss their asylum interview in the United States.

But although their ordeal was doubly distressing, it was nothing out of the ordinary amid a rise in violence and hostility toward migrants in Mexico's border region. (Camera: RAÚL MORALES).
