> Many migrants stranded in southern Mexico say the Democrats’ congressional win has raised their hopes of entering the US. More than 1,000 people set out from Tapachula on Tuesday, aiming first to reach Mexico City, while Mexican authorities stopped a smaller group from heading north. Trump warned Mexico that tariffs would double if it failed to halt the caravan.
