Central American Migrant Caravan

The Central American Migrant Caravan is a large, organized group of people fleeing Central American countries due to violence, poverty, and lack of opportunities. They travel together through Central America and sometimes across Mexico in hopes of reaching the United States for better safety and economic prospects. These caravans highlight ongoing regional struggles and create complex immigration and border policy debates, as countries respond to the humanitarian needs and logistical challenges posed by large migrant flows.
