The group of migrants were part of roughly 2,000 Hondurans who stopped Saturday night behind the roadblock.

At least 9,000 migrants from Honduras had crossed into Guatemala Saturday in a caravan that began one day earlier, hoping to reach the United States in the early days of the new presidential administration.
