Hundreds of illegal aliens from the West African country of Mauritania have recently descended upon Cincinnati, Ohio, thanks to social media apps TikTok and WhatsApp providing them with instructions.
According to Fox 19 Cincinnati, around one thousand Mauritanians have settled in the city in recent weeks.
U.S. Border Patrol data shows over 8,500 Mauritanians entered the U.S. between March and June.
John Keuffer, the CEO of a Cincinnati non-profit called Valley Interfaith Community Resource Center, told Fox 19, “We don’t know where they’re from, we don’t know how to communicate with them, and it created quite an issue for us.”
