Thursday Evening, Around 1,000 migrants escaped from southern Mexico detention centre.
More than half of the 13,000 broke out migrants returned back to Siglo XXI facility situated in the border city of Tapachula in Chiapas. But, around 600 are still unaccounted, said the Mexican National Migration Institute, in a statement.
Institute mentioned most of the escaped migrants are Cuban nationals. Not just that, Central Americans and Haitians were also among flees.
Majority of migrants in Mexico are from Guatemala, EI Salvador, Honduras and Cuba.

To contrast with pressure from the US President Trump, Mexico returned 13,000 migrants in just 30 days.
In addition, Trump again threatened Mexico to close the part of the US-Mexico border if it didn’t block the rising number of migrants.
Trump also threatened Mexico through tweets on Twitter. See his tweet here:
A very big Caravan of over 20,000 people started up through Mexico. It has been reduced in size by Mexico but is still coming. Mexico must apprehend the remainder or we will be forced to close that section of the Border & call up the Military. The Coyotes & Cartels have weapons!

There had not been a confrontation between the migrants and authorities, said a government agency.
