According to the Washington Post, a new caravan of migrants who attempted to seek asylum in Mexico is en route to the Southern border. Migrants are fleeing poverty and violence in countries like Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Haiti.
Migrants who attempted to seek asylum in Mexico say they have waited months–and in some cases, a year–and have not heard back from Mexican authorities.
For some of these migrants, specifically Haitians, their journey to America requires them to first survive a 66-mile trek through one of the world’s most dangerous jungles, the Darién Gap, between Panama and Colombia.
