A new migrant caravan of thousands of people departing from Mexico aims to cross the U.S. border before the inauguration ceremony of the elected president Donald Trump on January 20.
According to a report in the Mexican press, thousands of migrants have set out from Tapachula, the largest southern border city in the country, to reach the U.S. border. It has been learned that hundreds of them aim to cross the border before Trump's inauguration.
THEY CALLED ON THE MEXICAN PRESIDENT
Luis Rey Garcia Villagran, Director of the Center for Human Dignity (CDH), made a statement calling on Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to ensure that migrants are not obstructed. Speaking to the Spanish news agency EFE, Villagran said, "We believe that the biggest problem is the political differences between Sheinbaum and the elected president Trump."
"I WAS IMPRISONED IN DESPAIRING CONDITIONS"
Venezuelan migrant Cesar Eduardo Milano stated that the immigration office did not help them, saying, "I did not speak with any immigration office, and I no longer want to talk to them. They offer us things they cannot do, I was detained, and it was not as they told me. I was imprisoned in despairing conditions."
THEY ARE TRYING TO REACH THE U.S.
Images shared on social media show that many migrants from different nationalities are participating. Many migrants setting out from Central American countries are trying to reach the U.S. through Guatemala and Mexico.
