Migrant caravan leaves southern Mexican city but many are no longer aiming for the US border
Hundreds of migrants, mostly from Haiti, left Tapachula seeking work in Mexico after losing hope of reaching the United States.
- A migrant caravan from Tapachula dissolved after 12 days on the march following a deal with Mexican immigration officers, preventing the group from advancing past Oaxaca.
- Hundreds of Haitian migrants left Tapachula seeking to settle in Mexican cities like Mexico City, Monterrey, and Tijuana after losing hope of reaching The United States due to Trump administration restrictions on asylum seekers.
- During the administration of President Claudia Sheinbaum, 18 migrant caravans have departed from Tapachula, while Haitians filed 127,000 asylum petitions in Mexico between 2020 and 2024.
- "The United States is no longer an option for us," said Jerry Gabriel, a 29-year-old Haitian migrant, reflecting the group's pivot toward finding work in Mexican cities.
- Unable to get responses for asylum claims, some migrants spent months in Tapachula near the Guatemala border, though none of the group advanced past Oaxaca.
