San Pedro Sula (Honduras) (AFP) – Dozens of people gathered in northern Honduras to leave this Tuesday in a caravan for the United States, hoping that the legislative elections will take power away from US President Donald Trump, who maintains an offensive against irregular migration.

The caravan leaves from the town of San Pedro Sula on the same day as the key elections in which Republicans and Democrats fight for control of Congress.

"That Trump is coming out (in these elections), that's why we are taking a risk. Here (in Honduras) we have nothing else," Jimena Morazán, 47, who is traveling with five members of her family, told AFP.

This is the third caravan of dozens of migrants to leave Honduras since September. Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans and Mexicans joined the previous ones on the journey to the southern border of the United States.

"We found out on social media that a caravan was going to leave and I decided to go with my family," explained Jesús Carías, 30 years old.

The man, accompanied by his wife and three minor children, acknowledges that the trip will be "complicated." "Let's go hand in hand with God to see what decision they make there," added Carías, who will try to enter the United States for the fourth time.

The Trump government warned on Thursday that it will withdraw visas from the organizers of these caravans, whose calls are made mainly on Tiktok and WhatsApp.

The United States embassy in Tegucigalpa stated in X that the caravans "have no possibility of entering" US territory.

Trump made the fight against immigration one of his main axes of domestic policy, with raids throughout the country and a policy of zero admissions on the southern border.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced last week that since January 2025 it has revoked the immigration status of 2.2 million foreigners, in addition to restricting work permits.
