The caravan quickly grabbed the attention of world leaders as word of its formation spread over the weekend. By Tuesday, US President Donald Trump had weighed in with a warning, threatening to cut foreign aid to Honduras if the group didn't turn back.
The Honduran migrants say they're headed for the United States -- fleeing violence and searching for economic opportunity.
