Who’s really behind the caravan making its way through Mexico to the U.S. border?
Congressman Matt Gaetz tweeted video showing cash being distributed to a group he says is in Honduras.

“Footage in Honduras giving cash 2 women & children 2 join the caravan & storm the US border @ election time,” he wrote.
“Soros? US-backed NGOs? Time to investigate the source!”
The video shows a stream of people walking as an organizer hands out money.
“Keep walking forward,” a man shouts in Spanish.
“Let’s keep it moving. The women already received it.”
Meanwhile, the caravan is growing. NBC News reports:
A caravan of migrants fleeing Honduras has grown to 4,000 and the Mexican government has sent an additional 500 federal police to its border with Guatemala in anticipation of their arrival, according to U.S. government documents obtained by NBC News.
Part of the caravan, which has split into two groups, is now approaching the Mexico-Guatemala border amidst a surge in border crossings on the U.S.-Mexico border.
“In September, U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 41,400 undocumented immigrants, up from 37,544 in August,” according to NBC News.
