Mexico wants US to investigate tear gas

washington - Mexico wants an investigation into the use of tear gas at the Mexican-American border. When on Sunday about 500 Central American migrants wanted to cross the border, tear gas grenades were shot from the United States, which also ended up on Mexican soil.

Mexico now wants a thorough investigation into why the US shot tear gas to Mexican territory. There was fierce criticism on the actions of the Americans, because the group also included many women and young children.

President Donald Trump said Monday that the tear gas was not fired at children.
