The Rio Camp, housing around a thousand migrants from various regions near the Rio Grande, reflected a transient yet vibrant community. Migrants organized activities, faced challenges collectively, and shared a common aspiration of reaching the United States. Following the implementation of Donald Trump's hardline immigration policy, many migrants were forced to abandon their journey, with some returning to their home countries or settling within Mexico itself. The trend of north-south migration has increased, highlighting shifts in migration patterns and reducing migrant detentions at the U.S. border.
The migrants living in the Rio Camp in Reynosa displayed a sense of community despite the challenges, as they organized markets and parties, uniting in their shared dream of reaching the United States.
After Donald Trump's presidency initiated a stringent immigration policy, the migrants faced severe barriers to entry, resulting in many returning to their countries of origin or settling in cities within Mexico.
