Los Angeles (AFP) - The trial of a rancher accused of killing a Mexican migrant on his property in Arizona began Friday, as tensions mount in the United States over an inflow of migrants across the southern border.

Mexico City (AFP) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Friday hit back at criticism of his decision to reveal the telephone number of a New York Times reporter investigating alleged drug cartel links.

On Thursday, he read out the journalist's phone number at his regular news conference along with questions put to him by The New York Times. Lopez Obrador denied Friday that he had breached da...

Arriaga (Mexico) (AFP) - A caravan in Mexico of at least 1,000 migrants resumed its march northward towards the US border on Monday, accusing Mexican authorities of failing to fulfill their promise of granting humanitarian visas.

We are international workers," the migrants set off at dawn from the town of Arriaga in the southern state of Chiapas. The same group of migrants had decided to disband a previous caravan that set off from Chiapas on Christmas Eve, after immigration officials agreed to address demand...

Acapulco (Mexico) (AFP) - Acapulco was struggling Saturday to recover from the extraordinarily powerful Hurricane Otis, which claimed 39 lives and provoked widespread power, water and telephone outages. The picturesque Mexican tourist haunt, which once lured Hollywood stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Elvis Presley, had never experienced a Category 5 hurricane like Otis, which roared ashore Wednesday and made local landmarks built over decades look like they had been bombed. A lack of phone signal has left survivors desperate to communicate with loved ones. Some 200,000 homes were damaged, with...

Ciudad Juárez (Mexico) (AFP) - Migrants were stranded in northern Mexico's harsh desert after the freight train they were riding on halted for 24 hours, though they were trundling toward the border again on Saturday. Around 1,800 people, mostly Venezuelans and Central Americans, became stuck overnight in the northern state of Chihuahua when the freight train they had hitched a ride on stopped without explanation in the Ahumada municipality Friday. "All night, the cold didn't let up, and during the day, (there was no relief) from the sun," Venezuelan Jose Martin told AFP. These migrants are a...

Eagle Pass (United States) (AFP) - After weeks of travel on dangerous roads and rugged trails, hundreds of Venezuelan migrants experienced a bittersweet moment Saturday when they reached Eagle Pass, Texas, on the US border with Mexico, only to encounter a thicket of barbed wire and armed soldiers. "Are we safe?" asked Karlen Ramirez, who was in tears after crossing the Rio Grande, the natural border separating the two countries, and struggling through the barbed wire barriers. Eagle Pass, a town of almost 30,000, has for decades been one of the border points most heavily used by arriving mig...

Eagle Pass (United States) (AFP) - With their two children on their shoulders, Wilfredo Riera and Nataly Barrionuevo wade into the Rio Grande from the Mexican shore, the water soon reaching their waists. Avoiding the string of large orange buoys placed by Texas authorities to block their passage, they slog on towards the United States. From their starting point at Piedras Negras in Mexico's Coahuila state, they cross to Eagle Pass in south Texas, where that state's governor, Greg Abbott, has deployed the military in an effort to stem the migrant flow. It is 2:00 pm (1200 GMT) on a Friday, wit...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Southern California was cleaning up Monday after record rainfall triggered landslides and flooding, shuttering schools, roads and businesses in an "unprecedented" tropical storm. Up to 11 inches (28 centimeters) of rain were recorded in some areas as the tail end of what was once Hurricane Hilary belted through the region. In Oak Glen, a small mountainside community between Los Angeles and Palm Springs, a large mudslide spread across the streets. Brooke Horspool spent the morning shoveling mud and trying to dig out neighbors stranded by the messy deluge. "When the rain came...
