Mexico has deported about 15,000 migrants from Central America who'd been part of a caravan trying to reach the United States, Mexican officials said.

"[They are] mainly from Central America, but also from other countries," Alejandro Encinas, Mexico's interior secretary for humans rights, said Monday.
Mexican Interior Minister Olga Sanchez Cordero said the "mother of all caravans" was preparing to leave Honduras for Mexico late last month.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has changed his policy for migrant caravans, amid pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump. Migrant groups that used to be welcomed in Mexico are now being detained by police and sent back.
