VADO HONDO, GUATEMALA (AFP) – In buses and trucks, Guatemala on Tuesday returned thousands of migrants to Honduras after police and soldiers halted their northward march to the United States (US), dashing their hopes of a better life there.
On Monday, security forces broke up the caravan of some 4,000 migrants who had massed in the Guatemalan town of Vada Hondo on the first leg of their journey of thousands of kilometres through Central America on foot.
They were being returned on Tuesday to the El Florido border crossing where most of the group had entered Guatemala last Friday.
According to Guatemalan migration authorities, some 3,500 people have already been returned to Honduras, several hundred children among them.
