Thousands of US-bound Central American migrants have made attempts on Sunday, to travel to Mexico, and then the US border.
While on their journey, on a road near the border with Honduras, security forces blocked their path and intercepted them with truncheons and tear gas in Guatemala.

Meanwhile, the government said it would not accept “illegal mass movements” especially, Biden administration, which will take office on Wednesday, has warned migrants not to make the journey, as immigration policies will not change overnight.
