Mexico's National Guard is reportedly escorting a new migrant caravan that is headed for the U.S. border.
The caravan of predominantly Venezuelan migrants has been joined by a small group of African and Haitian migrants, Breitbart reported Thursday.
The Mexican National Guard is diverting traffic and providing health aid to the migrants.

The news comes as Mexico President Andrés Manuel López Obrador chimed in on Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott's efforts to secure the southern border.
An allegation of the Texas Department of Public Safety's abuse of migrants trying to get across the Rio Grande River in Eagle Pass, Texas, has been levied this week, but even the Mexican president called the allegation too "barbaric" to be true, according to The Dallas Morning News.
But Obrador did object to reports the Texas DPS are not giving humanitarian support as it seeks to close the Texas border with Mexico.
"It's inhumane," Obrador said at a news conference this week, according to the News. "We're going to keep defending our citizens and the general treatment of immigrants."
Obrador also vowed to reject any U.S. lawmaker who does not support migration to the U.S.
"We are going to keep condemning all the anti-immigrant and anti-Mexican politicians," he added, according to the News.
The caravan, which started Saturday, is working its way from near the Guatemala border to Mexico City, before journeying to the U.S. border, according to Breitbart.

Mexico’s National Guard is escorting a new migrant caravan traveling through southern Mexico as the group makes its way to the U.S. border. The new caravan comes when tensions continue to build in the U.S. where Texas has set up barriers on the waters of the Rio Grande to deter migrants from making the dangerous Rio Grande crossing.
The caravan consists primarily of Venezuelan migrants along with a small group of African and Haitian migrants that joined the group this week. The migrants are trying to make their way north from the state of Chiapas, which borders Guatemala, to reach Mexico City. The caravan will then continue its journey to the U.S. border.

The migrant caravan formed on Saturday when a group of Venezuelan migrants began their journey. The migrants claimed Mexico’s government was delaying them and they had been waiting for government buses to take them north to the Chiapas capital of Tuxtla Gutierrez. The group had been staying at the Viva Mexico camp in Tapachula, where migrants told Breitbart Texas that authorities kept them in unsanitary conditions.
