Trump Threats Prompt Migrant Action From Honduras And Guatemala

  • 6 years ago

Reuters reports that the organizer of a migrant caravan from Honduras was detained on Tuesday in Guatemala. This as the U.S. government threatened to withdraw aid from both countries if the flow of migrants north to the United States was not stopped.
According to organizers’ estimates, up to 3,000 migrants crossed from Honduras into Guatemala on a trek northward. This after a standoff on Monday with police in riot gear.
The Honduran Foreign Ministry called on its citizens not to join the group.
