Hondurans gather to depart in a new caravan of migrants, set to head to the United States, in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. San Pedro Sula, one of Central America's most violent cities, also was the departure point for a large caravan in 2018 that angered Trump, prompting him to press governments in the region to do more to contain migration.

The migrants walk with a Honduran national flag heading to Puerto Barrios, in Izabal department, Guatemala. The migrants have been braving the risk of extortion, kidnap and even murder as they flee poverty and gang violence in their homelands in a bid to reach the American dream, much to the annoyance of US President Donald Trump.

Migrants walk along a highway in hopes of reaching the distant United States, in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, before sunrise. Less-organised migrants, tighter immigration control by Guatemalan authorities and the presence of US advisers have reduced the likelihood that the hundreds of migrants who departed Honduras will form anything like the cohesive procession the term "caravan" now conjures.

Hondurans climb onto a truck to continue their journey toward the United States. What awaits them along their journey has changed dramatically. Guatemalan officials are checking documents, Mexico's National Guard has been deployed and if the migrants make it to the US border, officials there will make them await their asylum cases in Mexico or send them to another country in the region they're fleeing to apply for protection there.
