Tapachula, Chis., The two migrant caravans that were advancing along the coast of Chiapas in search of reaching the center and north of Mexico disintegrated after joining in the municipality of Pijijiapan, undocumented people reported.
The contingents that left Tapachula on December 12 and 18 joined together on Christmas Day and were preparing to continue their journey together on Thursday night towards the municipality of Tonalá, but they no longer did so out of fear, after the disappearance of one of the coordinators of Ecuadorian origin.

said a Colombian woman identified as Yinna.
He considered that the disappearance of his companion was a strategy to discourage foreigners and generate anxiety, since from Thursday night many began to leave on their own. On Friday, the National Migration Institute offered transfers to Tuxtla Gutiérrez, the state capital, and many agreed, although others were returned to Tapachula.
The undocumented immigrants left Mexico’s southern border with the intention of reaching the United States before Donald Trump takes office on January 20, out of fear of his immigration policies.
