CHILD AT SHELTER ORGANISERS AT SHELTER MIGRANTS AT SHELTER (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) MIGRANT ACTIVIST, EUNICE RENDON, SAYING: "They (migrants) are going to have difficulties entering the United States. Yes (the caravan) is going down in number when it comes to those in the shelter. Whether we like it or not Donald Trump is a figure that exists in the United States. Today, it looks complex. They (migrants) are detained in contravention of not just human rights norms but also U.S. norms. So, Donald Trump is violating many of these principles." OFFICIAL SPEAKING TO MEDIA (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) MIGRANT ACTIVIST, EUNICE RENDON, SAYING: "I think that what Donald Trump is doing is taking advantage of their (migrant's) situation so that they stay at the border, just like he did with the Haitians at the time."

- Story Text:A group of migrants separated from a large caravan taking shelter in Mexico City on Friday (November 09) to get a head start at the U.S. border.
Migrants got on buses and on the back of trucks to restart their journey, as thousands have been resting and recuperating at the sports complex over the past several days.
The migrants leave Mexico City just as U.S. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Friday (November 09) suspending the entry of migrants through the U.S. southern border between ports of entry for 90 days.
The proclamation, taken together with a regulation issued by the Trump administration on Thursday (November 08), will bar migrants who cross the U.S. border with Mexico illegally from receiving asylum in the United States.
Trump's proclamation does not apply to unaccompanied alien children, according to U.S. officials said. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
