Guatemala sends back hundreds of migrants
January 20, 2022
A group of 622 migrants headed to the U.S. were apprehended in Guatemala. The group was mostly men from Honduras and Nicaragua. Children made up about 25 percent of the group. When the caravan entered Guatemala, authorities used riot shields to keep the group from advancing forward. Guatemala sent the migrants back to their home countries. The U.S. has been working with Central American governments to curb immigration because illegal border crossings have spiked over the past few months. Haiti recently opened a consulate in Mexico to assist with the migration of Haitians at the Guatemala border.
