5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2018 Migrants fill Tijuana shelters, more on way By ELLIOT SPAGAT and MARIA VERZA Associated Press TIJUANA, Mexico — The first members of a caravan of Central Americans to reach the U.S. border slept in overcrowded shelters and in tents with a view of armed U.S. Border Patrol agents, with many saying they will wait for other migrants to join them before making their next moves. Hundreds of migrants have arrived by bus in Tijuana since Tuesday, occupying the little space still available in the city’s shelters and spilling onto an oceanfront plaza sandwiched between an old bullring and a border fence topped with recently installed concertina wire. Some men climbed up on the fence to take a look at the other side Wednesday. Women and young children sleeping in tents on the plaza could see Border Patrol agents carrying machine guns in camouflage gear with San Diego’s sky- line in the distance. The Juventud 2000 shelter squeezed in 15 women and their children, bringing occupancy to nearly 200, or double its regular capac- ity. Others were turned away. Several dozen migrants, mostly single men, spent the night at a beach that is cut by the towering border wall of metal bars The first arrivals generally received a warm welcome despite Tijuana’s shelter system to house migrants being at capacity. Migrants lined up for food while doctors checked those fighting colds and other ailments. Some migrants said they would seek asylum at a U.S. border crossing, while others said they might attempt to elude U.S. authorities by cross- ing illegally or perhaps settle in Tijuana. But all of about a dozen people interviewed Wednes- day said they would first wait for others from the migrant caravan to arrive and gather more information. “We have to see what we’re offered, just so they don’t send us back to our country,” said Jai- ron Sorto, a 22-year-old Honduran who arrived by bus Wednesday. Sorto said he would consider staying in Tijuana if he could get asylum from Mexico. AP Photo/Gregory Bull Central American migrants and others look on along the border structure in Tijuana, Mexico. He said he refused to consider Mexico’s offer of asylum in the southern part of the country because it was too close to Honduras and he felt unsafe from his country’s gangs. U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, mean- while, visited U.S. troops posted at the border in Texas and said the deployment of military per- sonnel ordered by President Donald Trump pro- vides good training for war, despite criticism that the effort is a waste of taxpayer money and a political stunt. Most of the troops are in Texas, more than 1,500 miles from where the caravan is arriving. On Wednesday, there was no evidence of car- avan members at Tijuana’s main border cross- ing to San Diego, where asylum seekers gather every morning. The San Ysidro port of entry, the busiest crossing on the U.S.-Mexico bor- der, processes only about 100 asylum claims a day, resulting in waits of five weeks even before migrants in the caravan began to arrive. The first wave of migrants in the caravan, which became a central theme of the recent U.S. election, began arriving in Tijuana in recent days, and their numbers have grown each day. The bulk of the main caravan appeared to still be about 1,100 miles from the border, but has recently been moving hundreds of miles a day by hitching rides on trucks and buses. Mexico has offered refuge, asylum and work visas to the migrants, and its government said Monday that 2,697 temporary visas had been issued to individuals and families to cover them during the 45-day application process for more permanent status. Some 533 migrants had requested a voluntary return to their countries, the government said. The Central Americans in the caravan are the more searchers Wednesday, including National Guard troops. The searchers used 22 cadaver dogs. International Space Station had to be rescheduled by one day because of the weather. latest migrants to arrive in Tijuana with the hope of crossing into the United States. Tijuana shel- ters in 2016 housed Haitians who came by the thousands after making their way from Brazil with plans to get to the U.S. Since then, several thousand Haitians have remained in Tijuana, finding work. Some have married local resi- dents and enrolled in local universities. Claudia Coello, a 43-year-old Honduran, said she was exhausted after four days of hitch- hiking and bus rides from Mexico City with her two sons, two daughters-in-law and 1-year- old grandson. As she watched her daughter-in- law and grandson lying inside a donated tent, she said she would wait for caravan leaders to explain her options. A few people pitched tents at the Tijuana beach plaza while most, like Henry Salinas, 30, of Honduras, planned to sleep there in the open. Saying he intended to wait for thousands more in the caravan to arrive, Salinas said he hoped to jump the border fence in a large group at the same time, overwhelming Border Patrol agents. “It’s going to be all against one, one against all. All of Central America against one, and one against Central America. ... All against Trump, and Trump against all,” he said. On Wednesday, buses and trucks carried some migrants into the state of Sinaloa along the Gulf of California and farther northward into the border state of Sonora. The Rev. Miguel Angel Soto, director of the Casa de Migrante in the Sinaloa capital of Culiacan, said about 2,000 migrants had arrived in that area. Small groups were also reported in the north- ern cities of Saltillo and Monterrey, in the region near Texas. About 1,300 migrants in a second caravan were resting at a Mexico City stadium where the first group stayed several days last week. By early Wednesday, an additional 1,100 migrants from a third and last caravan also arrived at the stadium. Like most of those in the third caravan, migrant Javier Pineda is from El Salvador, and hopes to reach the United States. Referring to the first group nearing the end of the journey, Pineda said, “if they could do it, there is no rea- son why we can’t.” WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press Fire death toll at 56 and counting in Northern California MAGALIA, Calif. — Cool weather helped fire crews gain ground today against the nation’s deadliest wildfire in a century, as the search went on for more bodies in the ashes of Paradise and surrounding communities. At least 56 people were killed, with 130 others missing a week after the flames swept through. The nearly 220-square-mile blaze was 40 per- cent contained, the state fire agency said. More than 450 searchers were assigned to look for remains in Paradise, which was all but destroyed, and outlying areas such as Magalia, a forested Northern California town of about 11,000. Many of the missing were elderly and from Magalia. Police drove around town, searching for those still in their homes and checking if they needed food and water. At the other end of the state, crews contin- ued to battle wildfires in Southern California, including a blaze of more than 153 square miles that destroyed over 500 structures in Malibu and nearby communities. At least three deaths were reported. Officials in Northern California put the num- ber of homes lost there at nearly 8,800, and the sheriff said the task of recovering remains had become so vast that his office brought in 287 THE DAILY ASTORIAN T HURSDAY E VENING A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 Icy roads cause 5 deaths as wintry weather blows east BYHALIA, Miss. — A pre-winter storm slammed parts of the South and lower Midwest, causing five deaths on slippery roads and strand- ing travelers for more than eight hours on an icy Arkansas interstate. The wintry weather moved eastward today, bringing a mix of rain and snow to Ohio, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Snow fell as far southeast as central Alabama, which got a dusting. While wintry precipitation is unusual in the Deep South so early in the sea- son, forecasters said the overnight trace missed setting a record for earliest snow by about two weeks. In Mississippi, a tour bus bound for a casino overturned , leaving two people dead and 44 oth- ers injured. And in the Little Rock, Arkansas, area, three people were killed in separate crashes on icy roads Wednesday night, while Interstate 40 was shut down overnight in the eastern part of the state because of several crashes near the White River bridge. Around the upper South, meanwhile, the storm spread scattered sleet and light snow Wednesday. And in Virginia, the planned launch early today of an unmanned cargo rocket to the Trump backs 1st major rewrite of sentencing laws in decades WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced his support for the first major rewrite of the nation’s criminal justice sen- tencing laws in a generation, but it remains to be seen whether the proposal can pass Congress. Trump said the bill “will make our commu- nities safer and give former inmates a second chance at life after they have served their time.” Trump hailed the deal as proof that “true bipar- tisanship is possible” — though no Democrats attended the White House announcement. Senators reached an agreement this week on bipartisan legislation that would boost reha- bilitation efforts for federal prisoners and give judges more discretion when sentencing nonvio- lent offenders, particularly for drug offenses. The House approved a prison reform bill in May, but the proposed Senate package makes additional changes and adds the sentencing component. That means the House would need to revote on anything the Senate passes. Criminal justice reform has been a prior- ity of Trump’s son-in-law, White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, who has been working on the issue for months. Trump pushed for swift passage of the legislation, potentially during the lame-duck session of Congress. SCHEDULE A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach Saudi prosecutor seeks death penalty in Khashoggi killing DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Saudi Ara- bia’s top prosecutor said today he would seek the death penalty for five men charged with the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Tur- key, while the United States moved to sanction 17 Saudi officials it said were involved in the slaying. The Saudi announcement appeared aimed at distancing the killers and their operation from the kingdom’s leadership, including Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, amid a global outcry over the writer’s death. Also today, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said the crown prince had “absolutely” nothing to do with Khashoggi’s death. Among those targeted for sanctions are Saud al-Qahtani, who was one of the crown prince’s closest aides, and Mohammed al-Otaibi, the dip- lomat in charge of the Saudi Consulate in Istan- bul where Khashoggi was killed Oct. 2. Also named is Maher Mutreb, who was part of the crown prince’s entourage on trips abroad. With the kingdom facing mounting inter- national pressure, prosecutors have pointed the finger at some members of the crown prince’s inner circle but stopped short of accusing them of ordering Khashoggi’s killing. Those clos- est to the prince are instead accused of ordering Khashoggi’s forced return in an operation that the Saudis allege went awry.
