On Aug. 5, local authorities started a 40 million pesos (300, 000 US Dollar) investment project to clean off the garbage, soil and brushwood of the Tijuana River canal, an area commonly known as el bordo (the dam). Simultaneously, the Tijuana City Police initiated an operation to evict the living in el bordo , mostly immigrants who where deported from the U.S. and homeless with no household alternative and usually living with drug issues. After several protests and demonstrations held by social organizations, the human cleaning decreased but the Police Department detentions and abuse persist against living near or at el bordo . According to social researchers of the College of the Northern Border (Colegio de la Frontera Norte), Without a coordinated and oriented action that combines the efforts of the Government and society, Tijuana will remain to be acknowledged as the city which holds no respect for the deported immigrants human rights .
