Around 1,500 migrants, primarily from Central and South America, have formed a caravan in Tapachula, southern Mexico, aiming to reach the United States before Donald Trump's January 20 inauguration, anticipating heightened enforcement measures.
Tapachula, near the Guatemalan border, has become a bottleneck where thousands of migrants are stranded due to limited permissions to travel further into Mexico. While some plan to walk the over 1,100-mile journey to the nearest U.S. border crossing at Matamoros, Texas, others seek rides to ease the grueling journey, the Associated Press reports.
