This is a link from msn.com in Spanish that details first hand accounts of gang members traveling with the caravan.
I couldn't find any stories in English to post here. All the stories I found about this in English were about Trump saying this. The story in Spanish has first hand accounts and doesn't mention Trump at all.
I wonder why there is such a difference in the two reporting styles.
Hopefully somebody with more time than I have will translate the important parts.

Something unusual during the march of the migrant caravan contingent is the presence of tattooed men.
However, once they arrive in a city, it is important to take advantage of the fact that the quota of the central parks (where the migrants camp) is limited, to establish several blocks away from where the support of the municipal authorities is concentrated as well as the attention of the media.
In Mapastepec were observed, about 10 blocks behind the Municipal Palace, young people tattooed in what is known as the red zone of this small town, one of them had the tattoo of a rifle along the right side of his torso .
That area is identified by locals as the focus of crime and prostitution in the area, and warned that entering after 10 pm is dangerous.
Yamali, in her native San Pedro Sula, Honduras, was wanted by a gang leader, and told 24 HOURS that she has seen some members of the mara travel with their children and wives.
"Many people come here, but they bring money, they stay in hotels, I also stayed, but I've run out of money," said the woman, who is distinguished by her white complexion and blonde hair.
Already in Pijijiapan, where the caravan arrived yesterday, a man revealed that he had money to get to Tijuana alone, "but I have to come in the caravan so there is no quarrel".
The shorts he wore showed a tattoo on his right leg.
Annoyed by the 30 degrees of temperature, he commented that "I am very stressed, right now, do not touch me, because I fit in ... hit the sun".
On Monday and Tuesday the caravan was in Huixtla they reported, but did not report, theft of cell phones and belongings among the members.
At the stroke of midnight on Tuesday, an individual was chased for several blocks after, according to the migrants, trying to take a child.
He was hit by at least 20 men and handed over to a patrol car; the Central Americans said they found him a knife and said he was a member of the Zetas, but they could not say whether he came with them on the trek or not.
