A group of about 2,000 mainly Central American migrants continued their mass exodus from the southern Mexico city of Tapachula on Sunday, reaching a town about 16 miles away.

Migrants walked in the early morning, starting out before dawn, to avoid the burning heat. Mostly from Honduras and El Salvador, many were accompanied by small children.
