Sheinbaum Confirms No Migrant Caravan Reached US Border Under Trump

Mexico City:Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that no migrant caravans have reached the US border since President Donald Trump returned to office. This statement was made shortly after Trump threatened to double tariffs on Mexico due to caravans moving through the country.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, President Sheinbaum stated at a news conference that since Trump took office, no caravan has reached the northern border. She mentioned two current caravans, including one in Arriaga, Chiapas, initially consisting of 500 to 600 people, with numbers now below 100.

Sheinbaum explained that authorities are assisting migrants by helping them return to their home countries or by allowing them to stay in Mexico under certain conditions. She noted that most migrants choose to return to their countries once informed they cannot cross into the US.

Sheinbaum also addressed a second caravan from Honduras, stating it is receiving humanitarian assistance and treatment based on human rights. Meanwhile, Trump expressed on his Truth Social platform concerns about "huge caravans" forming and warned of immediate tariff increases if Mexico does not act to stop them.
