Massive Migrant Caravan Left on November 5 and Disintegrated Following Donald Trump’s Presidential Victory United States

The massive caravan of migrants left today, November 5, on the day of the presidential elections in the United States. They took to the streets to send a message to the administration that is in charge in the North American country.

The insecurity that migrants face is aggravating, since it has been reported by numerous statements from migrants that in the part of Guatemala on the border with Tapachula Chiapas there is a criminal group that is extorting by kidnapping migrants, charging them an amount between $100 to $300 to let them cross the reservoir to the part from Sushiate to Tapachula.

After several days of waiting, last November 5, 2024, at six in the morning sharp. The caravan with around 3,000 migrants leaves for the north of the state of Chiapas.

TAPACHULA, MEXICO

Some migrants who had hoped to go to the United States through asylum, and even undertook the long journey on foot from the south of Mexico in a large caravan the day before, are preparing to return to their country, after the victory of the Republican Donald Trump.

Trump, 78, recaptured the White House on Wednesday after a campaign marked by dark rhetoric that deepened polarization in the United States, promising to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, impose tariffs on imported products and revive policies to curb migration that he implemented during his first term, between 2017 and 2021.

“I was hoping that Mrs. (Kamala Harris) would win, but that didn’t happen,” said Valerie Andrade, a Venezuelan migrant who gave up continuing to advance with a caravan of some 3,000 migrants traveling through the southern state of Chiapas toward its neighbor Oaxaca.

I don’t know where I’m going to stay today, I don’t have money or family in Mexico, but it’s clear that Trump doesn’t want us there,” she said disappointedly, in the company of her husband, with whom she left Venezuela, like her 7.7 million compatriots, overwhelmed by the deep crisis that the once prosperous oil country is experiencing.

Andrade said that since arriving in the southern city of Tapachula last week after crossing the dangerous Darien jungle, he has sought an appointment to apply for asylum through the CBP One application, but has not been able to do so and knows that it could take a few months.

“I would only ask Mexico to help us return,” he added.

Trump promised that, if he were president again, he would massively deport millions of undocumented immigrants living in the United States, reactivate controversial immigration control agreements such as “Remain in Mexico” and “Title 42” – which allowed express deportations to Mexico – and eliminate automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants in the United States.

A spokesman for the Security Secretariat in Chiapas told Reuters that even as the caravan continued to advance, entire families also chose to return to Tapachula, near the border with Guatemala.

However, the road to the “American dream” is not over for everyone.

WASHINGTON

President-elect Donald Trump put immigration at the forefront of his campaign agenda, promising to bring what he calls “unprecedented order” to the southern border and launch the country’s largest mass deportation operation of undocumented immigrants on his first day in office.

Throughout his campaign, Trump called immigration a crisis and promised to move quickly to implement a series of controversial policies to curb illegal immigration and stem new arrivals.

“We’re going to fix our borders. We want people to come back, but we have to let them come back. They have to come in legally,” Trump said during his victory speech in Florida.

However, managing the reentry of possibly millions of people presents formidable legal and logistical challenges.

“There is this belief that there is a line and people should get in line. “Often, there is no line,” said Mark Hetfield, executive director of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS).

A report from the Migration Policy Institute makes the same point, saying there are multiple visa pathways, each with different delays and wait times, that regulate how long people wait to obtain permanent residency.

Annual caps and per-country quotas create extensive delays, with some applicants facing waits for decades.

Many undocumented immigrants may have no way to join these lines because of restrictive reentry policies.

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 blocks the reentry of immigrants with a history of “unlawful presence” in the United States. If they leave and want to reenter legally, those with more than 180 days, but less than a year of unlawful presence, face a three-year reentry ban. Those with more than a year of illegal presence face a 10-year ban.

Illegal presence generally includes staying longer than allowed or entering without inspection.

Donald Trump said that security on the border with Mexico will be his priority and spoke of the first measures he will take when he takes office
Trump suggested being open to the possibility of mobilizing the Army to carry out these mass deportations, to which Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin responded that while the Armed Forces “will be ready to carry out orders from their own commander in chief and follow all legal orders of the chain of command, they will stay out of” this issue.

The initiative could also cost the Republican dearly, who, however, assured that “it is not a question of price.” “In reality, we have no choice. When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries… now they are going to return to those countries because they are not going to stay here. There is no price,” he said in reference to the presence of leaders of criminal gangs such as El Tren de Aragua.

Donald Trump says he will impose 25% tariffs if the Mexican government does not stop illegal immigration

Donald Trump said that, if he is elected president, one of the first calls he will make is to Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico.

“I don’t know her, but they tell me she is a nice woman,” Trump said, adding that when he calls her he will inform her that the United States Government will impose 25% tariffs on products imported from Mexico if his government fails to stop the flow of “criminals and drugs” entering the country.

The imposition of 25% tariffs is just the starting point of the negotiation that Trump plans to make with Sheinbaum.

“It has a 100% chance of working. Because if it doesn’t work I will make it 50, and if that doesn’t work it will be 75 and then 100 (%). And there will come a time when they will have so many soldiers on their southern border… It will work,” Trump assured.

President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum said: that important work is already being done to demonstrate the importance of the trade agreement between the US, Mexico and Canada for Washington.

“The T-MEC not only benefits Mexico, but it benefits the US in a very important way,” said the president of Mexico and added that “the treaty complements us, there is no competition between nations between our countries.”

In addition, Sheinbaum assured that there will be a good relationship with whoever is the new president of the United States.

“And we are going to continue with high-level dialogues for issues related to our relationship, from migration issues, the issue of fentanyl which is an important issue for the United States for humanitarian reasons, but also other issues, such as arms trafficking from the United States to Mexico and other issues of the trade relationship,” she concluded.

Donald Trump names new “border czar” Tom Homan for mass deportation of immigrants

Tom Homan
Homan also served in the former Trump Administration (2017-2021) and has promised to carry out mass deportations in a “humane” manner.

It was widely expected that Tom Homan would be offered a border-related position following Trump’s promise to launch “the largest deportation operation in the country’s history.” During Trump’s last presidency, Homan received criticism for separating children from their families.

The new “border czar” told the American media that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) will act to implement Trump’s plans in a “humane manner.” In an interview with ’60 Minutes’, Homan assured that the only ones who should fear Trump’s immigration policies are immigrants who entered the country illegally.

The protection of the American border has been one of the strong points of Trump’s campaign.

US President Donald Trump said, “I have known Tom for a long time and there is no one better to police and control our Borders,” Trump said in a social media post on Sunday. “Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportations of Illegal Aliens to their Country of Origin.”
