Thousands of migrants from Central and South America are making the long journey through Mexico toward the United States, hoping recent Democratic election gains could lead to changes in US immigration policy.
The caravan, which set out from Tapachula in southern Mexico, includes people fleeing poverty, unemployment, gang violence and insecurity in their home countries.
While some migrants see a new opportunity to reach the US, others remain skeptical that political shifts in Washington will translate into real policy changes. Mexican authorities have detained some migrants at the southern border, but many continue their march north, driven by hopes of safety and better economic prospects.
