2020 Migrant Caravan

January 15th, 2020.

Hondurans flee their country hoping to reach the US border by any-mean-necessary. A year after the infamous late-2018 Migrant Caravan, that was used as politically ploy by president Trump and the Republican party, a new caravan attempts the unlikely and dangerous journey. They are likely to meet new challenges that the previous caravan—that, at it’s highest count, included nearly 10,000 people—didn’t encounter. Trump, Mexico, and the Northern Triangle country’s made “safe-third country” agreements to stop migrants from crossing country borders with the intention of reaching the US.

UPDATE (not-pictured): Migrants encountered minor resistance at the Honduran-Guatemalan border, but were there-after completely shut out of Mexico. At the Mexican border the Hondurans were forced to decide: be deported back to their home country or apply for asylum in one of the lower Mexican States. Many decided to return home.
