The very first day of 2019 saw a group of migrants violently attempt to storm the U.S. border, forcing Border Patrol agents to use tear gas to repel them. In December 2018, two children died while in U.S. custody after being picked up with their parents for crossing the border illegally. Meanwhile, another caravan that could comprise thousands of people began the trek to the United States from Honduras around mid-January.
