New 1,500-Strong Migrant Caravan Seen Walking Toward US Southern Border Hours After Boat Full Of Asylum Seekers Lands In Affluent San Diego Community
- A caravan consisting of about 1,500 migrants, mostly from Central and South America, are trekking through southern Mexico
At least 1,500 migrants have formed the first caravan of 2024 as part of an attempt to reach the
Mexico's northern border region with the United States.
The group, mainly Central and South American migrants, had grown tired of the lagging Mexican immigration system in Tapachula, a city in the southern state of Chiapas, which borders Guatemala.
The migrants took off by foot Thursday and reached the town of Huixtla on Friday.
The plan, local media outlets reported, is for migrants to spend the night there resting before departing for Escuintla in the morning.

More than 20 migrants were filmed storming the beach La Jolla, California, an extremely wealthy suburb of San Diego on Wednesday morning and disappearing into the southern
California enclave, where homes go for a median price of $2.2 Million.
The exclusive footage was shot by NewsNation's National Correspondent
Jorge Ventura and captured the group arriving on the shore on a vessel before they took off running into the neighborhood.
