A caravan of about 1,500 migrants is heading to the U.S. border before Trump's inauguration, despite risks.

A new caravan of about 1,500 migrants from Central and South America has formed in southern Mexico, aiming to travel to the U.S. border. The group hopes to arrive before President Trump's inauguration in January, fearing increased difficulties afterward. Migrant caravans started in 2018 as a safer option for poorer migrants. Despite facing threats from drug cartels and harsh conditions, the migrants are determined to reach the U.S. border. The U.S. has tried to curb the formation of caravans by expanding asylum claim areas southward, but many migrants still prefer to be near the border to quickly access appointments if available.
