Guatemalan police fire tear gas to disperse thousands of Honduran migrants trying to reach the US on foot

Dania Hinestrosa, a 23-year-old domestic worker travelling with her daughter, said she had left behind another child of three and twins aged four.But Guatemala migration head Guillermo Diaz insisted on Saturday the group "will not be able to pass" and urged the migrants to turn back.

Migration authorities said nearly 1,400 people in the caravan had been returned to Honduras by Sunday, including 192 children. The first group of men, women and children, many wearing masks due to the pandemic, pushed their way on Friday past police on the border at El Florido.

Guatemala forces stall migrant caravan with tear gas, batonsGuatemalan police and soldiers have used tear gas and wielded batons and shields against a group of Honduran migrants that tried to push through their roadblock. Why didn't they use tear gas & batons on the folks who were trying to get into the buildings over there on Capitol Hill? And here they come and Biden will let them in. Go to California, New York, Chicago and DC. Don’t let them in Texas Borders are social constructs. Closed borders are BS. One human race.

'We're starving': U.S.-bound migrant caravan hunkers down after Guatemala crackdownHundreds of Honduran migrants huddled overnight on a highway in eastern Guatemala after domestic security forces used sticks and tear gas to halt the passage of a U.S.-bound caravan just days before U.S. President-elect Joe Biden takes office.
