LARGEST MIGRANT CARAVAN IN MORE THAN A YEAR HEADED TO US


AT AROUND 6,000 PEOPLE, THE MIGRANT CARAVAN THAT SET OUT SUNDAY WAS THE LARGEST
ONE SINCE JUNE 2022, WHEN A SIMILARLY SIZED GROUP DEPARTED TAPACHULA

An estimated 8,000 people left southern Mexico in a caravan Christmas Eve with
the hopes of reaching the U.S. border.

A sprawling caravan of migrants from Central America, Venezuela, Cuba and other
countries trekked through Mexico on Sunday, heading toward the U.S. border. The
procession came just days before Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives in
Mexico City to hammer out new agreements to control the surge of
migrants seeking entry into the United States.

The caravan, estimated at around 6,000 people, many of them families with young
children, is the largest in more than a year, a clear indication that joint
efforts by the Biden administration and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's
government to deter migration are falling short.

The Christmas Eve caravan departed from the city of Tapachula, near the
country's southern border with Guatemala. Security forces looked on in what
appeared to be a repeat of past tactics when authorities waited for the marchers
to tire out and then offered them a form of temporary legal status that is used
by many to continue their journey northward.

OVER A HALF-BILLION DOLLARS IN RAILROAD FREIGHT STUCK AT TEXAS BORDER CROSSINGS
AMID MIGRANT BATTLE

“We've been waiting here for three or four months without an answer,” said
Cristian Rivera, traveling alone, having left his wife and child in his native
Honduras. “Hopefully with this march there will be a change and we can get the
permission we need to head north.”

López Obrador in May agreed to take in migrants from countries such as
Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba turned away by the U.S. for not following rules
that provided new legal pathways to asylum and other forms of migration.

But that deal, aimed at curbing a post-pandemic jump in migration, appears to be
insufficient as the number of migrants once again surges, disrupting bilateral
trade and stoking anti-migrant sentiment among conservative voters in the U.S.

This month, as many as 10,000 migrants were arrested per day at the U.S.
southwest border. Meanwhile, U.S. Customs and Border Protection had to suspend
cross-border rail traffic in the Texas cities of Eagle Pass and El Paso as
migrants were riding atop freight trains.

Arrests for illegal crossing topped 2 million in each of the U.S. government’s
last two fiscal years, reflecting technological changes that have made it easier
for migrants to leave home to escape poverty, natural disasters, political
repression and organized crime.


Texas is now using planes in addition to buses to move migrants out of the
state. It's Governor Greg Abbott's latest move in the battle over security at
the southern border. The first flight has already landed in Chicago. NBC 5's
Candace Sweat has reaction and why the windy city was Texas' first target.

On Friday, López Obrador said he was willing to work again with the U.S. to
address concerns about migration. But he also urged the Biden administration
to ease sanctions on leftist governments in Cuba and Venezuela — where about 20%
of 617,865 migrants encountered nationwide in October and November hail from —
and send more aid to developing countries in Latin America and beyond.

“That is what we are going to discuss, it is not just contention,” López Obrador
said at a press briefing Friday following a phone conversation the day before
with President Joe Biden to pave the way for the high level U.S. delegation.

The U.S. delegation, which will meet the Mexican president on Wednesday, will
also include Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and White House
homeland security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall.

Mexico's ability to assist the U.S. may be limited, however. In December, the
government halted a program to repatriate and transfer migrants inside Mexico
due to a lack of funds. So far this year, Mexico has detected more than 680,000
migrants living illegally in the country, while the number of foreigners seeking
asylum in the country has reached a record 137,000.

Sunday's caravan was the largest since June 2022, when a similarly sized group
departed as Biden hosted leaders in Los Angeles for the Summit of the Americas.
Another march departed Mexico in October, coinciding with a summit organized by
López Obrador to discuss the migration crisis with regional leaders. A month
later, 3,000 migrants blocked for more than 30 hours the main border crossing
with Guatemala.
