Caravan of around 1,200 Central American migrants enters Mexico heading for the US one week after Trump threatened Mexico with 5 percent tariffs if it fails to slow illegal immigration
A migrant family attempts to escape from Mexican immigration authorities during a raid on their caravan that had earlier crossed the Mexico-Guatemala border, near Metapa, Chiapas state, Mexico, Wednesday, June 5, 2019.
A municipal police patrol monitored the migrants – who were mostly from Honduras – but did not stop them as they began walking along the side of the road in the southern state of Chiapas toward the city of Tapachula. That has provoked the wrath of the US president, who threatened last week to apply tariffs of five percent on all Mexican exports starting on Monday and rising incrementally to 25 percent by October.
