Overview

• After two days of negotiations in Escuintla, some migrants accepted case-by-case regularization and returned to Tapachula while about 100 others resumed the march toward Mapastepec en route to Mexico City.
• The caravan left the Mexico–Guatemala border on August 6 after migrants reported denied or delayed asylum responses from COMAR.
• INM delegate Farah Gertrudis Cerdio Moisés said authorities will review each case individually and provide official transport, giving priority to families with children.
• The moving contingent is composed mainly of migrants from Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador and Honduras.
• Rather than aiming for the United States, migrants plan to settle in central Mexico to find work while their asylum and regularization processes continue.
