Migrant Caravan Enters Mexico and Reaches Tapachula: Two Groups Estimated at About 3,000 People Combined
The migrant caravan that set out from Honduras on U.S. Election Day has entered Mexico. On November 6, an estimated 500 to 1,000 migrants crossed the Rodolfo Robles International Bridge from Guatemala into Ciudad Hidalgo, Chiapas. A second group crossed over the weekend, bringing the combined estimate to approximately 3,000 people, a figure that has not been independently confirmed.
Reuters reported on November 9 that hundreds of migrants, mostly Hondurans, walked from the border town of Metapa de Domínguez to Tapachula in Chiapas state. They told Reuters they foresaw a weakening of President Trump's anti-migrant policies after the midterm elections. The caravan consists primarily of Honduran nationals, along with migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala and Haiti, and is heading north toward the United States.
The crossings mark the third major caravan from the San Pedro Sula region of Honduras to reach Mexico's southern border in less than two months. Mexican immigration authorities have previously issued temporary transit documents in similar situations, though there is no confirmation such documents were issued to these groups. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has previously said such migrants will be turned away at the U.S. border.
