For the past week a caravan of Central American migrants has been traveling through Mexico, denouncing Mexican and U.S. immigration policies.
The 293 Central American migrants, accompanied by human rights activists and headed by well-known Catholic priest and human rights advocate Alejandro Solalinde, charge that the Integral Southern Border Program approved in July 2014 will further militarize the Mexican-Guatemalan border and criminalize migrants.
En route, the Caravan has been threatened by federal police and immigration agents and its participants have been beaten. Solalinde announced an injunction to prevent authorities from arresting and deporting the caravan participants.
