A caravan of 1,500–2,000 migrants is heading toward the U.S. border from southern Mexico

People set out from the city of Tapachula, in the state of Chiapas.

Most of the participants are from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. They are marching under the slogan "Migrating is not a crime."

Some hope that, following a Democratic victory in the U.S. congressional elections, migration policy will be eased. At the same time, U.S. and Mexican authorities have previously stated that there will be strict border controls.
