“The mayor of Ciudad Acuna, on the Texas border, led about 400 people on a 56-mile march that began Tuesday to protest a proposed border fence.

Ciudad Acuna Mayor Evaristo Perez said the march along the border to Piedras Negras, across from Eagle Pass, Texas, was an attempt to bring together border communities against the 1,100 kilometers (700 miles) of new fencing approved by the U.S. Congress and planned for the U.S.-Mexico border.”
