New migrant caravan en route to US border despite Trump clampdown

TAPACHULA, Mexico — A caravan of over 1,000 migrants left southern Mexico over the weekend for the US border, despite President Donald Trump deploying reinforcements to keep migrants out and cancelling all asylum applications.

On his first day back in office this week, Trump moved to end the 'invasion' of the United States by sending 1,500 extra troops to patrol the Mexico border, halting the entry of all undocumented migrants and suspending asylum hearings and humanitarian parole programs.
