15,000-strong migrant caravan set to depart from Honduras next month

Another migrant caravan will soon be making its way north from Honduras with an estimated 15,000 people, according to new reports.

As the thousands of migrants who fled the Central American country in October remain stranded at the Mexico border waiting to enter the US, the even larger group is prepared is preparing to depart for the north on January 15.

‘They say they are even bigger and stronger than the last caravan,’ Irma Garrido, a member of the migrant advocacy group Reactiva Tijuana Foundation, told the Los Angeles Times.

Garrido said the latest caravan will likely pick up even more people from El Salvador and Guatemala as it heads toward Mexico.
