Migrant caravan heading towards US border in ‘mad dash’ before Trump inauguration

A caravan of roughly 3,000 migrants from Central America has departed Tapachula, Mexico, en route to the United States, aiming to cross the border before President Biden leaves office.

US Border Patrol officials have described the movement as a "mad dash," anticipating a surge in migration in the last few months of the Biden admin.

Sources within the agency suggest that migrants believe the upcoming Trump administration would make crossing the border more difficult.
