United Nations says concerned about Mexico's actions against migrants

The United Nations said in a post on Twitter on Friday it is concerned about the impact Mexico's migrant operation is having on children and vulnerable people, saying the country had a right to protect its borders but not to use excessive force.

Mexican authorities have adopted tougher measures against Central American migrants, detaining 800 who had entered Mexico from Guatemala seeking to reach the border with the United States.
