Jacob Rascon Caravan
Many ask if there are criminals in the migrant caravans. Mexican government officials just released these photos of two Hondurans from the second caravan (2,500 people in Tapachula, MX). Federal police arrested them on drug and murder charges and deported them back to Honduras, where the crimes were allegedly committed.
Adín Josué, 21, faces drug charges; Juan Carlos, 47, is wanted in connection with the murders of three people.
We have no way of knowing how many migrants have criminal records or intentions. Several people in the largest caravan told us they were previously deported from the U.S. on charges they didn’t want to talk about.
As you might expect, everyone else we talk to here insists they are honest, hard-working people who dream of a safer place to provide for their families and improve their lives. Migrants say poverty and violence compelled them to flee and they plead for compassion.
