Caravan Of 600+ Migrants Making Its Way Through Mexico To The US Border

Hundreds of migrants, largely from Honduras, are currently moving north through Mexico toward the United States, coinciding with the lead-up to the midterm elections in November. Dubbed the “Faith and Hope” (or “Fe y Esperanza”) caravan, the group reportedly left Honduras with about 300 people on September 20, and entered southern Mexico on September 24 via the Rodolfo Robles bridge. The group has since swelled to more than 600 members as migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Haiti joined the original Honduran cohort in Tapachula.

The caravan remains deep inside Mexico with a substantial distance still to travel before it reaches the U.S. border.

Immigration activists say migrants are expecting a Democrat takeover of Congress in the midterms, and a shift toward more relaxed border enforcement.

One caravan leader told a reporter in Spanish that there is a widespread belief that President Trump’s anti-immigration agenda has been very unpopular in the U.S. and will result in both the Senate and the House of representatives falling to Democrats. “This will have major repercussions,” he said.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) meanwhile responded to reports of the caravan with a football-themed X post and the phrase “Our time has come.” In a subsequent post, DHS simply stated “The border is closed.”

According to independent border reporter Anthony Aguero, the migrants are being funded by two Non-Governmental Organizations, Proyecto Faro and the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA).

Proyecto Faro, an “immigrant-led organizing & solidarity” nonprofit based in Rockland County, New York, is funded by a mix of foundations, nonprofits, and government grants, including the Jewish-led Harry Donenfeld Foundation and the Gitlin Family Foundation. ADRA, the humanitarian arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, is headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland.

ADRA is funded mainly by the U.S. government, which has reportedly given it about $385 million over the years. According to Aguero, ADRA was named a partner in the State Department’s new Faith and Community Initiative in August 2026, after being given at least $36 million taxpayer dollars by the end of 2025.

The migrants themselves say they are seeking better living conditions an opportunities in the U.S.

One of the migrants told a reporter in Spanish that no one is pushing them or paying them to come.

“We all set out with a purpose to get to the United States,” he said, adding that Mexican authorities have been supporting the caravan with food and water.

Another migrant argued that God’s creation is meant to be explored so “there shouldn’t be a limit for any man.”
