'We can't go on another day here ... I want to get to the United States.'
January 17, 2022, 10:42 PMGUATEMALA CITY - Guatemalan authorities said on Monday they have sent back more than 600 migrants who entered the country in a caravan that was bound for the United States.
The caravan left Honduras on Saturday but was largely broken up over the weekend. Video images showed Guatemalan police using riot shields to stop a large group of migrants from pushing forward. The authorities said some people made illegal crossings as well. Migrants elsewhere said they would press on with plans to cross Central America in a northward direction.
The U.S. government has sought help from Central American nations and Mexico to prevent large groups of people from heading north to the U.S. border. Several U.S.-bound caravans have left Central America in recent months as people from across Latin America and the Caribbean flee poverty and violence, but the groups have largely broken up during the difficult route.
