Families And Friends Reunite At Park Straddling US And Mexico

SAN DIEGO, CA – APRIL 30: U.S. Border Patrol agents open a door in the U.S.-Mexico Border fence during an “Opening the Door of Hope” event on April 30, 2016 in San Diego, California. Five families, with some members living in Mexico and others in the United States, were permitted to meet and embrace for three minutes each at a door in the fence, which the U.S. Border Patrol opened to celebrate Mexican Children’s Day. It was only the third time the fence, which separates San Diego from Tijuana, had been opened for families to briefly reunite. The event was planned by the immigrant advocacy group Border Angels.
