Guatemala Police Break Up U.S.-Bound Migrant Caravan
Guatemalan security forces on Monday broke up a caravan of some 4,000 Honduran migrants trying to reach the United States on a journey of thousands of kilometers through Central America, AFP reporters witnessed.
Police advanced on the group in a coordinated move, striking batons against their shields to make an intimidating noise, prompting the group to scatter in different directions.
Authorities thus cleared a key road blocked by migrants held up in the town of Vado Hondo since Saturday, causing a long build-up of cargo trucks waiting to pass.
