Guatemalan security forces used sticks to beat back a migrant caravan early on Sunday after thousands of people set off from Honduras for the United States this week, just as President-elect Joe Biden prepares to enter the White House.

Between 7,000 and 8,000 migrants have entered Guatemala since Friday, according to Guatemala’s immigration authority, fleeing poverty and violence in a region hammered by the coronavirus pandemic and back-to-back hurricanes in November.

Video footage shared by the Guatemalan government showed hundreds of migrants pressing into a wall of security forces, which used sticks to repel the surge of people. An unspecified number of people have been injured, authorities said. Mexico, it said, was committed to orderly and regulated migration and would oppose any form of unauthorized entry.

MarthaKarua This is not fair at all

Look out America the Dems are running the show, yikes.

Luis Echeverria, they come from Honduras. The caracana was contained in Guatemala. Please use better headlines, most people don't read the whole story.

They just need to wait a couple of more days

Gives me flash backs of the mob at the Capitol! Why can’t they just go to South American countries? America has enough problems we don’t need theirs. 👏🏻

Isn’t it something when he was politicizing and promoting his wall a caravan showed up? He probably is behind this!

It’s the shape of the United States. Weird.

Forces? How about giving the story right for once? Hondurans invade Guatemala trying to get to the US boarder and authorities are stopping them!

Weird. Do the republicans know about this? Oh, it’s no longer election season, so they don’t care.

Go Home !! No more Basta
