SEATTLE - A new migrant caravan has left the southern Mexican city of Ciudad Hidalgo, next to the Guatemala border, with the goal of reaching the United States before the November elections. The follow-on group, formed by hundreds of people, started its long journey on July 21.
As the presidential elections loom, some of the caravan members said they hoped to make it to the United States before as they fear a crackdown following a Trump victory, The Associated Press reported. Some also said that they had been waiting at Ciudad Hidalgo for weeks for permits to facilitate their travel up north.
