❗️Sunak to be confirmed UK's PM on Tuesday - Downing Street

🇲🇽🇺🇸 Sputnik witnessed an attempt by migrants to cross the US-Mexico border near Tijuana, Mexico.

Three men used a car jack on the US-Mexico border wall’s steel beams in order to squeeze through the gap. While one migrant managed to get to the US side, the attempt by the other two was abruptly cut short by US law enforcement.

It’s possible someone was waiting for the illegal migrants on the US side, giving them directions. About 20 minutes later, the Mexican National Guard showed up.
