The caravan of roughly 1,000 Central Americans moving toward the United States appeared to be splintering into smaller groups as of Wednesday, after drawing the ire of President Trump and capturing the attention of the nation.
The large group has been camped out in the town of Matias Romero in the southern part of Mexico since the weekend, after starting a trek from the Guatemala-Mexico border on March 25. It reached a peak of about 1,500 but a spokesperson for the advocacy group Pueblo Sin Fronteras – which organized the caravan and sought to draw attention to the rights of migrants – told Reuters that many people had broken off and were continuing the route on their own.
“Now they’re separating these groups,” Ellis Garcia told Reuters. “I don’t know what’s the deal, we have no answers.”
As the caravan began to attract growing attention in the U.S., Mexico began cracking down on the group. Mexico’s Interior Ministry has said that 400 people in the caravan had already been sent back to their home countries, and Mexican immigration authorities began screening those still in Matias Romero.
