The first of the three caravans attempting the journey is still at least 1,000 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. Many fled that country weeks ago to join the caravan in a bid to escape Honduras’ pervasive poverty and violence. Migrants in the leading caravan are planning Tuesday to walk to Juchitan, a trek of some 32 miles from their starting point this morning, the Associated Press reports. Ramiro Nolasco, the mayor of Zanatepec, said locals there Monday organized a bus and several trucks to carry caravan members. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
