On Monday October 15 Bartolo Fuentes acknowledged in interviews with national and international media that the caravan was organized in the city of El Progreso with members of the Libre Party (''Free Party''). Fuentes says, "There are organizers in [[Tegucigalpa]] and Ceiba. It was about 20 people who coordinated with other people who joined in." Fuentes confirms they will cross into Mexico.
The government of [[Guatemala]] alerted the public of the [[community organizer|deception of the organizers]], and expressed concern about the "conditions in which adolescents [[adolescent]]s and children are traveling." Guatemala warns "it rejects movements organized for illegal purposes that manipulate or distort [[human rights]] for private purposes." The organizers however continued to use [[social media]] to induce more people to join under false promises and deceptions.
[[President Donald Trump]] reacted on Twitter, "If the large caravan of people going to the United States does not stop and return to Honduras, no more money will be given effective right now."
