The first migrant caravan of 2025 is on its way to the U.S. southern Border, as migrants desperately attempt to cross into the U.S. before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20.
According to the Associated Press, the migrant caravan, which is reported to have between 2,000 and 2,500 people, has left southern Mexico and is heading toward Mexico City, allegedly in hopes the migrants will be able to find alternative routes to the U.S. Border.
While leaving Tapachula — located in the southern state of Chiapas — some of the caravan members said they were looking for better opportunities for their families.
Venezuelan migrant Johana Campos told the AP she wants help for her disabled son and her mother.
“I have a disabled son who we want to help with an intervention, a special wheelchair for him,” Campos said, “Help my mother, but mostly for the help that we can bring to our family there who are in crisis.”
