Report: DHS Tracking a New Migrant Caravan From El Salvador

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly tracking a new migrant caravan that is set to leave El Salvador next week, NBC News reports. An internal document reportedly indicated that DHS is “tracking the communications” of the caravan, including a WhatsApp group with 230 members. The group, which includes families traveling with children, is reportedly still forming and is set to leave on Oct. 31. On a call to reporters Tuesday, a Trump official reportedly said the administration would like to see Central Americans “stripped of the right” to be in the U.S. while they wait for their asylum claims to be processed. Only nationals from border countries, like Mexico, can be sent back to their home countries before seeing a U.S. immigration judge under current law. A caravan of over six thousand Hondurans is making its way to the southern border and is currently in Mexico. On Monday, Trump said that the caravan was an “assault on our country.”
