Trump praises Mexico for not causing a ‘giant scene’ at the border — Central American migrants traveling with the annual Stations of the Cross caravan march for migrants' rights and protest the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump and Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, in Matias Romero, Oaxaca State, Mexico, Tuesday, April 3, 2018.
