WASHINGTON—Information is scarce about the new migrant caravan that set off from Honduras on Jan. 15, but one activist journalist that is traveling with the group said about 2,000 Hondurans are on the move so far—with most traveling north by bus from San Pedro Sula, a major city in Honduras. More are expected to join. Still others departed El Salvador.
The caravan departed under the shadow of a record-breaking U.S. government shutdown over border-security funding, with the main sticking point for Democrats being $5.7 billion for fencing along the southwest border.
