'It's a Federal Crime': Tijuana Mayor Says Caravan Organizers Should Be Arrested

TIJUANA, Mexico – After declaring the migrant caravan a “humanitarian crisis” this week, Mayor Juan Manuel Gastélum told Fox News that he can no longer continue to fund the municipal effort to shelter them without federal assistance.

“I’m not going to break public services to solve this problem,” the Tijuana mayor said.

Efforts were underway to move some of them to a new location because of reports that more migrants were making their way to Tijuana.

Mayor Gastélum blames the organizers for whom he cannot identify. He said they should be held accountable. He said the leaders of the caravan should face criminal charges.

“Those are the real criminals because they're dealing with the lives of people,” he says.

Sometimes letting yourself become apolitical tool just doesn’t work out so well.

The caravan organizers? Does that include George “The Ex-Nazi” Soros? The City of Tijuana ought to sue George Soros to recover damages (all the money they have spent on feeding and sheltering the “migrants”.) Soros has plenty of assets in Mexico which can be seized as soon as the Mexican courts rule against him.

I agree. They have manipulated a group of uneducated people to make a political point on the US border.

The mayor should offer to fly home anyone who wants to go. That would be cheaper than keeping them in Tijuana.

If they could prove it, they’d be wise to do it.

Is Mexico in the middle of the lame duck former government before the new one takes over?

I agree with the mayor. And I would say that those organizations have committed an act of treason against Mexico, and the USA. At least in Mexico the organizers could be hanged.

I would love them to arrest the organizers. Even better would be to file extradition warrants for the heads of the NGOs that funded it. Make them responsible for reimbursing TJ for funds they have had to spend to feed these people.

I would cheer if they issued extradition warrants. I think Trump would honor them.

Prosecute ALL for human trafficking. In USA, use RICO against the NGOs etc.

I wonder if there’s a body count, if anyone was noticing the dropouts along the way north?

God bless that Mayor.

Some needed sanity in the middle of a snake pit.
