Migrant Caravan Faces Authorities At Mexican-Guatemalan Border

Thousands of US-bound migrants crossed from Guatemala into Mexico, facing Mexican National Guard troops who were ordered to block their entry. The Mexican government stated it would detain and deport migrants without legal status. Some migrants clashed with Mexican forces, but most retreated to the river's edge. A smaller group returned to Guatemala. Mexico's actions are part of a deal with the US to reduce migrant influx at the border. While President Trump sees these caravans as an invasion, some migrants disagree, continuing their journey northward.
