1 / 6Mexico Migrant CaravanMigrants depart early in the morning from Tapachula, Chiapas state, Mexico, Saturday Oct. 12, 2019. Migrants from Africa, Cuba, Haiti, and other Central American countries set off early morning by foot from Tapachula to the southern border of the United States.
The group trudged about 24 miles northwest along a highway under the supervision of human rights officials before a large contingent of federal police and national guardsmen blocked their path. Some ran, while others turned themselves over to authorities. The migrants have engaged in scuffles with police at the Tapachula immigration offices in recent weeks. Mexico says they can stay in southern Mexico, or leave by the southern border, but the migrants want documents that will allow them to reach the northern border.Story continuesHowever, deportations are more difficult for migrants from faraway countries in Africa, some of which lack the infrastructure to handle repatriations.
