A new migrant caravan of approximately 1,000 migrants departed from Mexico’s southern border this weekend to make its way to Mexico City. From there, the group is expected to disperse and find various ways to reach the U.S. border. The caravan is the second to start in Mexico since October 1, when the country’s new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, took office.

Pope Francis offered prayers Sunday for those “unjustly detained in foreign countries,” in hope they will soon be allowed to return to their home countries.
