STORYLINE:
Hundreds of migrants from a dozen countries summoned through social networks were walking Sunday from the southern Mexican border with the intention of reaching the United States.
The migrants, some pushing strollers and carrying young children along a road in Ciudad Hidalgo, Chiapas, were making the trek as an intense election campaign is underway in the US in which Republican nominee Donald Trump promised massive deportations if he returns to the presidency.
The formation of groups or caravans of migrants moving through southern Mexico has been commonplace in recent years and usually coincides with moments when the migration issue is on the regional agenda.
Usually, Mexican authorities let them advance until the group gets tired and ends up disbanding without leaving the south of the country.
Since the beginning of the U.S. electoral campaign, migration is a key issue given the record flow of people arriving in the US in 2023.
Steven Moreno, from Colombia, said he is making the journey north to support his family.
