Stock Photo - 30 June 2019, Mexico, Matamoros: Osyandi from Cuba left his country more than a year ago hoping to reach Florinda in the United States. He says he was blackmailed by the police and the National Institute for Migration during his transit to Mexico's northern border, although he had federal protection that allowed him to travel across the country. Hundreds of migrants are waiting near the International Puerta Mexico Bridge to apply for asylum in the United States. The atmosphere is desperate as many migrants live outdoors in the midst of the high temperatures that prevail in the community on Mexico's northern border. Photo: Carlos Ogaz/dpa. - Matamoros/Mexico
