Mexico is working on breaking up migrant caravans setting out from the south of the country toward the U.S. border in the days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
Thousands of migrants have left southern Mexico on foot in recent weeks, but none have made it even close to the U.S.-Mexico border. The migrants are from a variety of different countries, including Venezuela, Ecuador and El Salvador.
It’s unlikely that many, if any, of those migrant caravans will reach the border before Trump’s inauguration in less than two weeks. The President-elect has said he will stop migrants from entering the U.S. when he takes office.
The Mexican government sent around 100 migrants to the resort city of Acapulco this month, more than a thousand miles from the border.
The number of illegal border crossings has stayed low in the waning days of President Joe Biden’s administration, despite some predictions that migrants would flood to the border before Trump takes office.
