Mexico to deport group that stormed US border

BBC News. The story is in the title basically.
Mexico's interior ministry said in a statement that a group of "nearly 500 migrants" had "tried to cross the border in a violent way". 
Those identified as having taken part in these "violent events" would be deported immediately, it said. 
The ministry added that, "far from helping their objectives", the migrants' actions had violated the legal migration framework and could have led to a "serious incident".
More at the link but not much.
"We aren't criminals! We are hard workers," they chanted.
What an incredible disconnect. We've heard this a thousand time. Of course they mean they're not criminals by nature, they don't murder, rob houses, jack cars, but they say this, and their supporters repeat this even as they break laws to enter a nation illegally. Illegally. That means breaking the law. That's criminal.

Well, not that law.

Just the laws that they agree with and see as legitimate.

BBC has a story for its readers about a day in Tijuana when mothers and children were tear gassed.

And a map!

Israel International News tells the same story in a different accent.
Mexico will deport about 500 migrants who on Sunday tried to “violently” and “illegally” cross the US border, the Mexican Interior Ministry in a statement quoted by Reuters. 
Mexican authorities had contained the protest at the crossing between Tijuana and San Diego. 
Despite heightened tensions there, Mexico would not send military forces to control 7,417 migrants from a caravan currently amassed at the US-Mexico border.
