Trump Declares Victory Over Migrant Caravan

The Daily Beast reports:



President Trump has claimed victory over a “caravan” of Central Americans traveling to the U.S. who he sought to make a big issue in the midterm elections—saying the people are now heading home or remaining in Mexico after their entry to America was thwarted.

The Trump administration was condemned after photographs showed mothers and infants at the border being stung by tear gas and pepper spray. Following the elections, mentions of the migrant caravan largely disappeared from Trump’s statements.
