WASHINGTON—A caravan of more than 1,200 migrants, mostly from Honduras, started trudging northwards on March 25 from Tapachula, southern Mexico, just across the Guatemalan border.

The caravan’s final destination was to be the U.S.–Mexico border, but organizer Pueblo Sin Fronteras has since said Mexico City will be the last scheduled stop. However, many of the migrants intend to carry on and seek asylum in the United States.
