Summary
Hundreds of migrants in a caravan that left San Pedro Sula on Sept. 20 crossed into Mexico and are moving north toward the U.S. border, prompting a DHS warning.
DHS said Border Patrol is tracking the group with international partners and warned that anyone attempting to enter illegally will be apprehended, prosecuted and removed.
The caravan is made up largely of Hondurans, Guatemalans, Salvadorans, Ecuadorians and Haitians, with some migrants saying they are heading north for jobs and relief from hunger.
The warning lands in a heated midterm cycle, with the Trump administration highlighting 16 months of a "closed and secured" border and broader deportation crackdowns amid low illegal-crossing levels.
