Approximately 300 migrants from Central and South America and the Caribbean have departed from Tapachula, Chiapas, in southern Mexico, forming a caravan named "Éxodo de la Justicia." Unlike previous migrant caravans, their destination is not the United States border but rather various cities within Mexico, primarily Mexico City. The migrants are seeking legal residency permits, employment opportunities, and a dignified life in Mexico. The caravan has progressed through several towns, including Huixtla and Huehuetán, where immigration authorities from the Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) conducted document checks, raising concerns among the migrants who hope to obtain the necessary permits to continue their journey. The Mexico City Human Rights Commission (CDH CDMX) has emphasized the importance of an inclusive agenda that provides work opportunities for migrants. Additionally, there is a growing movement among undocumented foreigners in Mexico City to apply for temporary refugee status, reflecting a shift in migrant goals from reaching the U.S. to establishing legal status and livelihoods within Mexico.
