Massive Migrant Caravan Surges Towards US Border, Seeking Faster Entry

Around 5,000 migrants, including individuals from Central America, Venezuela, Cuba, and Haiti, have embarked on a journey from southern Mexico towards the northern border region with the United States. Frustrated with the lengthy processing times for their refugee or exit visa applications, the migrants decided to march after waiting for weeks or months at the main immigration processing center in Tapachula. This caravan is the largest since June 2022 and comes at a time when President Biden is facing pressure to address the influx of undocumented immigrants at the US-Mexico border.
