– The Honduran migrant caravan making its way toward the US border is apparently no more. Guatemalan authorities say they have returned more than 2,000 members of the caravan back to their homeland over the past few days, reports Reuters. “This caravan is more disorganized than the past ones, and we saw many groups become lost because they didn’t know the right direction of the road,” says military spokesman Juan Carlos de Paz. He added that not all of the returned migrants had been registered with Honduran immigration authorities. The development comes a day after the caravan split into two groups, one heading for Guatemala’s Peten region and the other for the Mexican border city of Tapachula. It was not immediately clear if those groups were pressing on with those plans. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who has taken steps to curb illegal immigration, has suggested that the caravan’s departure from Honduras had been timed to coincide with the US election. Trump had insulted and threatened Mexico repeatedly in his 2015-16 election campaign and has made cracking down on illegal immigration a priority during his presidency.
