1,500 Migrants Leave Southern Mexico Hoping For Easier US Entry

Approximately 1,500 migrants left Tapachula in southern Mexico on Tuesday, heading north towards Mexico City following Democratic victories in the United States that raised hopes of more welcoming immigration policies.

The caravan, named "God With Us", includes people fleeing violence and hardship who believe the political shift in Washington could eventually improve their chances of entering the US legally.

Nicaraguan migrant Cesar Sandoval expressed optimism about potential assistance from Democrats.

The migrants plan to travel more than 1,000 kilometres to Mexico City to seek federal protection, despite warnings about the dangers along the route.
