Migrants set off from Honduras to attempt new caravan

(15 Jan 2020) Hundreds of mainly Honduran migrants continued their walk Wednesday from the city of San Pedro Sula, in a bid to form the kind of migrant caravan that reached the U.S. border in 2018.

Some migrants waved to trucks to get a ride, while others shouted slogans against President Juan Orlando Hernández as they set out for the Guatemalan border.

Most attempts at forming caravans in 2019 were broken up by police and the national guard in Mexico, which has come under increased U.S. pressure to prevent migrants from arriving at the U.S. border.
