Migrants Enter Mexico as Trump Vows Border Reinforcement

At least 800 migrants, primarily from Honduras, entered Mexico via the Rodolfo Robles International Bridge into Ciudad Hidalgo, Chiapas, on November 6, 2026. The migrants reported they are marching toward the United States following a Democratic Party sweep of the U.S. House, Senate, and the Texas governorship.

Donald Trump responded to the surge and reports that incoming Texas Governor Gina Hinojosa is removing state manpower from the border. Trump stated that if the new administration does not continue his border policies, he will act to reinforce them himself.

The shift in Texas leadership follows the defeat of Governor Greg Abbott by Hinojosa. This movement follows previous migrant caravans in September that received funding from non-governmental organizations including Proyecto Faro and Adrano.
