3,000 migrants leave southern Mexico on foot in a new caravan headed for the US border

SUMMARY

Approximately 3,000 illegal migrants from around a dozen countries set out on foot from Ciudad Hidalgo, Mexico, aiming for the U.S. border. Many in the group are concerned about the potential impact of a possible Trump administration, fearing it might close the border to asylum-seekers and halt appointments through the CBP One app, which facilitates entry into the U.S. Migrants like Miguel Salazar, from El Salvador, are anxious to reach their destination before the November elections, as they worry about possible changes in U.S. immigration policy. Recent measures by Mexico have made it harder for migrants to travel by bus or train, leading to increased risks and difficulties along their journey.
