Migrant deal claim denied by new govt

Mexico's incoming minister casts doubt on media report

WASHINGTON/MEXICO CITY - US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that migrants seeking asylum in the United States via the southern border would wait in Mexico while their claims move through legal procedures, but the Mexican incoming government denied the two sides had reached any deal.

"Migrants at the Southern Border will not be allowed into the United States until their claims are individually approved in court," he tweeted on Saturday evening. "All will stay in Mexico."
