The “Faith and Hope” caravan has grown from several hundred people to more than 600, prompting a response from the Trump administration as the November midterm elections approach.
A migrant caravan that departed Honduras in September is making its way through Mexico toward the United States, setting up a fresh test of the Trump administration’s border enforcement policies.
The group, known as “Fe y Esperanza,” or “Faith and Hope,” began its journey from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, on September 20. Initially numbering between 200 and 400 people, it reportedly expanded to more than 600 as migrants from several countries joined the march through southern Mexico.
The caravan includes people from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Ecuador and Haiti. By late September, the group had reached the Tapachula area in Chiapas, with participants continuing north.
