Migrant caravan stops in field in southern Mexico

President Donald Trump is warning about “caravans” of migrants heading to the U.S., though the caravan of Central American migrants supposedly moving across Mexico toward the border was strikingly immobile Monday.

The group of about 1,100 mainly Hondurans who had been walking along roadsides and train tracks stopped to camp out in a field in the southern Mexico state of Oaxaca.

They are waiting and getting advice on filing for transit or humanitarian visas in Mexico.

While a group men in the march broke off and hopped a train north on Sunday, the rest of the group seems unlikely to move until Wednesday or Thursday. Then, they are probably going to take buses to the last scheduled stop on the caravan, a migrant rights symposium in central Puebla state.
