A large group of Central Americans is continuing toward Mexico City from the south in an effort to reach the United States. The group is trying to leave a part of Mexico that has been considered dangerous for traveling migrants. Members of the group held a meeting Sunday at a gymnasium in the city of Cordoba. About 1,000 members voted to try to reach the capital, Mexico City, by walking and asking for rides on Monday. Cordoba is 286 kilometers from the capital by the shortest path. The trip would be the group’s longest one-day journey since the group began walking more than three weeks ago. Several hundred other migrants have already arrived at a large outdoor sports area in the capital. They rested and watched local people play soccer. City employees offered hot food to the migrants. The migrants made it to Cordoba after a 200-kilometer trip through the state of Veracruz.
