Three Iraqis detained in border city Mexicali
Three Iraqis carrying invalid Greek passports have been detained in the northern city of Mexicali, across the U.S. border from California, the Interior Secretariat announced Sunday. The three Iraqis told officials they were Christians attempting to reach the United States to seek asylum from religious persecution, according to a Attorney General's Office (PGR) news release.

Last month, the PGR announced a Greek citizen was being held over for trial on charges he participated in a smuggling network that sold fake Greek passports to Iraqi migrants bound for the United States. It was unclear if the recently arrested Iraqi migrants face prosecution or expulsion from Mexico.
