HUIXTLA, Mexico (AP) — A caravan of Central American migrants has briefly halted their long, arduous journey to honor a fellow traveler who died on the road, to rest weary feet and to nurse illnesses and injuries still distant from their goal of reaching the United States.

At the same time, leading Democrats now fear that the battle for the House majority will be decided by only a handful of seats.
