BEIJING: While the ninth Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles contains all the trappings and pomp of a major international gathering, it takes place against the backdrop of an ongoing crush of migration to the United States’ southwest border.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to transport migrants awaiting immigration proceedings from US cities along the southern border farther into the nation’s interior, starting with Los Angeles in the coming weeks, according to internal documents obtained by NBC News.
