Border protection agents have fired tear gas to stop a group of Central American migrants seeking asylum in the United States as they tried to cross the Mexican border at Tijuana.

The US Customs and Border Protection, however, said the action was taken after rocks were thrown at them.

According to the agency, a group of migrants was attempting to breach the border fence, as reported by Al Jazeera.
