Massive Migrant Caravan Assisted by Mexican Government Nears U.S. Border

Over 2,000 migrants are traveling through Mexico with government and NGO support, expected to reach the U.S. border in the coming days.

A new migrant caravan of over 2,000 individuals, supported by Mexican government officials and NGOs, is making its way to the U.S. border, with El Paso, Texas, as a key anticipated arrival point.
The caravan, known as the Migrant Way of the Cross, began its journey from Chiapas, Mexico, carrying a large white wooden cross to symbolize the hardships faced by migrants.
Mexican police have been escorting the caravan, while the Mexican National Migration Institute works with cities to provide migrants with shelter, food, and supplies.
Church-run border shelters in the U.S. are preparing for the caravan's arrival, with some already near capacity due to the influx of migrants.
Recent incidents at the U.S. border include migrants storming the border in El Paso, leading to charges against nine individuals for inciting a riot and other offenses.
