Truckers have now been banned from letting migrants hitch a ride by the Mexican government, so they will have to walk 2,500 miles to the Texas border.
Mexican officials said there are more than 3,000 migrants in the caravan, which left Tapachula on the border with Guatemala on Saturday.
The migrants encountered a wall of Mexican interior police wearing protective gear and wielding shields.

There have been over 1.7 million migrant encounters in the fiscal year 2021, according to Customs and Border Protection.
There were over 192,000 encounters in September alone.
Additionally, there was also the Haitian migrant surge in September,
The Biden administration said the surge was due to poverty, corruption, and violence in Central America.
Republicans noted that the Biden administration's rollback of Trump-era border policies contributed to the surge.
Border Patrol said that as many as 60,000 migrants are massing on the Mexican side of the border to reach the U.S.
