A Mexican immigrant killed himself on the Pharr-Reynosa border bridge after being denied asylum in the United States. Authorities denied the request and the man pulled out a knife right there and cut his jugular in front of everyone, according to Reuters.
At the moment no data has been provided on the identity of this person, only that he was wandering through the Río Grande crossing, that he was wearing a blue shirt with black stripes and that he would be around 30 years old.
The Tamaulipas State Prosecutor's Office is currently investigating in depth the event that took place on Wednesday at 5 in the afternoon.
A short recording shared by one of the security sources shows the moment in which the man approaches the authorities and threatens to kill himself. A fact that he did soon after without hesitation.
According to figures from the United States Office of Customs and Border Protection, arrests in that area have increased 88% in 2019. In addition, the Mexican government has reinforced controls and the number of military personnel at the border to prevent the rise of tariffs from the neighboring country.
Among the priorities of President Donald Trump's policy is to maintain border security and control illegal immigration.
