U.S. border authorities fired tear gas into Mexico on Monday night when a group of roughly 150 migrants attempted to illegally cross the border into San Diego.

Customs and Border Protection said the non-lethal measures were not aimed at those who were actively climbing the fence, but at people who were throwing rocks south of the borderline.

Multiple children were among the migrants attempting to cross, and officers reported seeing some of them lift “toddler-sized children up and over the concertina wire.”


Border Patrol also used smoke devices and pepper spray on the migrants. Twenty-five people were arrested, including two teenagers who attempted to cross, according to CBP. They were not injured.

Legendary Queen guitarist Brian May’s first new solo work in more than two decades is a song called “New Horizons.” It’s a tribute to the ongoing NASA New Horizons mission that will mark the most distant spacecraft flyby in history on January 1st, 2019.


May, who has a doctorate in astrophysics and is also a New Horizons science collaborator, was asked to write a song, as an anthem of sorts, to coincide with the flyby.
