Migrant caravan slogs on through southern Mexico with no expectations from a US-Mexico meeting


Under a beating sun, thousands of migrants in a caravan continued to trudge through southern Mexico on Tuesday, with some saying they expect nothing good from an upcoming meeting this week between American and Mexican officials about the migrant surge at the U.S. border.

The migrants passed by Mexico’s main inland immigration inspection point outside the town of Huixtla, in southern Chiapas state. National Guard officers there made no attempt to stop the estimated 6,000 members of the caravan.

The migrants were trying to make it to the next town, Villa Comaltitlan, about 11 miles (17 kilometers) northwest of Huixtla. In the past, Mexico has let migrants go through, trusting that they would tire themselves out walking along the highway. No migrant caravan has ever walked the 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) to the U.S. border.

Immigration groups ask judge to block portion of Florida's new law


Multiple advocacy groups are vowing to fight a part of Florida's new immigration law.

This week, the Southern Poverty Law Center, American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of Florida, Americans for Immigrant Justice and American Immigration Council filed a motion for a judge to block section 10 of SB 1718, which criminalizes driving undocumented people into the state. The groups argue it illegally infringes upon federal law and is unconstitutionally vague.
