"Massive Group of Migrants Embark on Journey North from Southern Mexico"

Around 3,000 migrants began a mass protest procession through southern Mexico to demand the end of detention centers like the one that caught fire last month, killing 40 migrants. The migrants started from the city of Tapachula, near the Guatemalan border, and aim to reach Mexico City to demand changes in the way migrants are treated. The migrants are mainly from Central America, Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Colombia. Mexican authorities have used paperwork restrictions and highway checkpoints to bottle up tens of thousands of frustrated migrants in Tapachula, making it hard for them to travel to the U.S. border.
