The first migrant caravan of the year 2025 left the southern border of Mexico on Thursday (2.1.25), with about 1,500 members. Most of them come from Venezuela, but there are also Guatemala, El Salvador, Peru and Ecuador.
Upon leaving Bicentenario Park in Tapachula, the largest city on Mexico's southern border, the director of the Center for Human Dignification (CDH), Luis Rey García Villagrán, asked the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, to allow migrants move forward
In addition, he expressed concern about the measures that Trump has promised, such as mass deportations and restrictions on asylum. "We consider that, after these massive deportations, there has to be an agreement between the Government of Mexico and the United States so that humanitarian policies are established," he said.
The migrant caravans have caused renewed controversy since November, when Sheinbaum assured in a call with Trump that these groups "no longer reach" the border with the United States. For his part, the US president-elect has promised tariffs of 25 percent. cent to Mexican products if it does not stop "the invasion” of migrants and drugs.
Agents from the National Migration Institute (INM) tried to prevent the migrants from leaving, but they were not convinced to take them to Tuxtla Gutiérrez with a provisional permit to transit only in the state of Chiapas.
