Photos of the Central American Immigrant Caravan (38 photos)
On October 13, a group of hundreds of people gathered to flee their impoverished home country of Honduras together in a caravan headed toward the United States, seeking a better life for themselves and their families. That caravan quickly swelled to approximately 7,000 Central American immigrants as they passed north through Guatemala. As of today, most of these men, women, and children have just entered Mexico, yet they remain more than a thousand miles south of the U.S. border. President Donald Trump has called the approaching group a “national emergency,” and vowed to cut tens of millions of dollars in aid to three Central American countries, and to possibly cancel a recent trade deal with Mexico, if the caravan isn’t stopped before it reaches the U.S. Below, photographs of the caravan over its first ten days, and some of the difficult paths taken by those involved.
