The Latest: Mexican townsfolk assist weary migrants

Updated 1:47 pm CST, Sunday, November 4, 2018



ISLA, Mexico (AP) — The Latest on the caravans of migrants making their way through Mexico to the United States (all times local):

12:00 p.m.

Ordinary Mexicans are helping Central American migrants headed to the U.S. border.

Catalina Munoz said she bought tortillas on credit to assemble tacos of beans, cheese and rice when she heard the caravan would pass through her tiny town of 3,000 inhabitants in the southern state of Oaxaca.

She then gathered 15 members from her community of Benemerito Juarez to help make the tacos, fill water bottles and carry fruit to weary travelers on the roadside.
