In Photos: Thousands of Central American migrants march for the U.S. border
About 4,000 undocumented Honduran migrants are marching north through Mexico to the US border. A second, smaller group of 1,000 or so migrants is more than 200 miles behind the first caravan. A third band of about 500 from El Salvador has made it to Guatemala, and a fourth group of about 700 set out from the Salvadoran capital Wednesday. U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered 5,200 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.
