New Migrant Caravan Begins Journey to the US
Published 3 April 2022 (10 hours 48 minutes ago)
The new caravan is called "Viacrucis migrante", in commemoration of the Catholic Holy Week.
A new caravan of 600 migrants from Central America and other countries of the region left Tapachula, Mexico on Saturday, with the purpose of reaching the United States (U.S.), one of the many that during the current year have started on their way to the U.S. southern border.
Given the proximity of the Catholic Holy Week and the estimated travel time of the caravan on foot or by improvised means, its organizers called this new journey the "Migrant Stations of the Cross".
On the way to Mexico's northern border they encountered a National Guard checkpoint, which provoked an altercation that resulted in a dozen people being detained and injured on both sides, according to local media reports.
