In a bold move, over 2,000 migrants located in the southern region of Mexico are organizing a fresh caravan, with the aim of reaching the U.S. border ahead of the inauguration of the Trump administration on January 20.
The caravan is scheduled to embark on its journey at the stroke of midnight on Thursday, a strategic move designed to evade any potential disruption from Mexico's immigration officials.
According to Breitbart, the organizers of this migrant group have been utilizing messaging apps to coordinate their plans, creating groups to maintain a low profile and avoid attracting unnecessary attention. Unlike previous instances, the migrants have refrained from using posterboards or making public announcements via loudspeakers.
Miguel Rosales, a migrant from El Salvador, expressed his distrust towards the agents of Mexico's National Migration Institute (INM). "We dont trust them," he told Breitbart Texas, "They have lied to other people in the other caravans, promising them help, and only sent them to other places, giving them nothing."
Rosales' comments were in reference to previous caravans that were disbanded by INM agents and Mexican National Guardsmen. The Guardsmen have been recognized for their efforts in breaking up caravans by offering weary travelers buses, aid, and assistance in processing travel permits to reach the northern border.
The forthcoming caravan is anticipated to set off later this week, making its way towards Mexico City. From there, the migrants are expected to employ various means such as air travel, bus travel, railroads, and private vehicles to reach border cities.
The migrants who spoke with Breitbart Texas revealed their plans to cross into the U.S., surrender to authorities, and seek asylum based on credible fear. Breitbart Texas has previously reported that since the U.S. Presidential Elections in November, at least seven separate caravans have embarked from the southern border of Mexico and headed north. While Mexican authorities have managed to disperse some of these caravans, several of the more recent groups continue their northward journey.
This latest development underscores the ongoing challenges faced by migrants in their quest for a better life, and the lengths they are willing to go to secure a future in the United States. It also highlights the critical role of Mexican authorities in managing these caravans and the complex dynamics at play in the broader immigration debate.
