South American migrants are rushing to the U.S.-Mexico border, hoping to secure entry before Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration brings tougher immigration policies.
Hundreds of migrants are rushing to the U.S.-Mexico border, determined to enter under current regulations before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20 brings stricter policies.
On January 8, nearly 250 migrants departed Tapachula, Cheeapas, on buses provided by a Mexican government program transporting those approved through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) app to northern border crossings.

Fearing Trump’s promises of tougher border controls and mass deportations, migrants are racing against time to secure asylum before conditions worsen.
