Caravan of Mexicans Arrives; Some Will Never Return; Enters from Texas to Mexico

Amid sirens, waving tricolor flags, and a wave of emotions, more than 900 Mexican migrants crossed the Nuevo Laredo International Bridge from Texas early yesterday morning.

This isn’t just any caravan; it’s a long-awaited reunion with their roots, a summer ritual that takes place year after year after the outbreak of violence from criminal groups operating along the border.

245 vehicles, many pulling trailers and cages filled with gifts for their families or their belongings, moved slowly from Laredo, Texas, to the Mexican side.

IMN employees held tricolor flags. “Welcome, gentlemen, come in,” came the warm voice of an immigration agent as the first vehicles crossed into Mexico.

Patrol cars and Civil Protection units escorted the passage, ready to accompany the caravan to Querétaro and other states in Mexico.

“We are here,” came the voice of a traveler, amid a mixture of nervousness, joy, and relief.

“They are welcoming us. We are already in Mexican territory, heading primarily to Querétaro and various cities in Mexico,” the woman added.

The return also has a bitter undertone, as many of these families have decided not to return to the United States.

Juan Fernando Rocha Mier, founder of the migrant caravan, confirmed this story.

Given the current situation in the Anglo-Saxon nation, some members of the group have decided they will not return.

The Anglo-Saxon nation that once welcomed them is now forcing them to rethink their future in the face of Donald Trump’s new policies.

Members of the State Guard, the National Guard, and other authorities provided protection and support to the border with Nuevo León, ensuring that this cross-border embrace would reach its destination safely.

Yesterday, most of the countrymen arrived back to their places of origin, mainly in Querétaro.
