The Guatemala government said late on the 15th that about 6,500 migrants from Honduras intend to go to the United States, while Honduran security forces have clashed sporadically with these migrants between Honduras and the Guatemala border, and although Guatemala has detained hundreds of people, the migrant army continues to move toward the border.
According to Reuters, Guatemala Immigration Department spokeswoman Alejandra Mena estimated that about 6,500 Honduran migrants continue to drift north, with 3,000 to 3,500 of them having stepped into Guatemala territory, while a Honduran police officer pointed out to local television that the migrant convoy of about 5,000 people had passed through checkpoints along the highway.
Reuters pointed out that the Honduran security minister did not respond to this, and Reuters cited a video footage that hundreds of Hondurans could be seen waving Honduran flags and chanting slogans as they entered Guatemala from the Honduran border, the first migrant convoy to appear this year, while U.S. President-elect Joe Biden was about to take office within a week.
Biden has promised to provide a more humane immigration pathway for migrants than the current President Trump. The current Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico by the security and public health departments to work together to block unauthorized migration, which may slightly reduce Biden’s burden, according to an adviser has privately expressed concern that Biden’s inauguration early, there will be a large influx of migrants to the United States.
