3,000 Migrants Form Caravan Heading to U.S. as Election Day Unfolds

The caravan departs from southern Mexico amid heightened tensions surrounding U.S. immigration policies and the presidential election.

Migrants from Central and South America gathered in Tapachula, Mexico, to form a caravan seeking safety in numbers as they head toward the U.S. border.
The caravan's departure coincides with the U.S. presidential election, where immigration is a central issue between candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
Participants in the caravan express hopes of finding work and escaping violence, while fearing the potential impact of a Trump presidency on asylum policies.
Tapachula has become increasingly dangerous for migrants, with organized crime posing significant threats, prompting many to join the caravan for protection.
U.S. Border Patrol anticipates increased migration attempts as migrants aim to cross before potential changes in immigration policy.
