A new migrant caravan left Honduras late on Jan. 14 as another wave of migrants tries to make it to the United States to claim asylum or illegally cross the border and disappear into the country.
Thousands of migrants worked their way through Central America and Mexico to reach the U.S.-Mexico border in 2018, resulting in multiple clashes with American Border Patrol agents. Some migrants snuck into the United States while others waited and entered through official entrances to claim asylum. Still, others turned back home or were deported by Mexico or the United States.
The first group in the new caravan left San Pedro Sula’s bus station Monday night, taking buses headed to the Honduras-Guatemala border.
Others trudged along on foot under a steady rain.
