Newsweek Falsely Claims Migrant Caravan Turning Back After Trump’s Victory
 
Newsweek falsely claimed that a migrant caravan moving through southern Mexico with the hopes of eventually reaching the U.S. border was turning back following President-Elect Donald Trump’s election. Contrary to the Newsweek report, the caravan is still moving through southern Mexico.

In a report published on Thursday on Newsweek, by one of their New York-based political reporters, the publication claimed that “Migrants are abandoning a caravan headed for the United States because Donald Trump ‘s election win has dashed their ‘dream of getting out.'”

In the article, the reporter quoted some migrants expressing frustration about the election, but had no actual information about the caravan of more than 2,500 migrants dissolving, turning back, or continuing. The reporter then went into detail about Trumps prior comments about immigration, the wall, and calls for mass deportation.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
