A caravan of more than 1,000 US-bound migrants from Honduras entered Guatemala illegally Thursday — breaking through a border security cordon.

The young men and women, many wearing face masks — some carrying backpacks and small children — pushed past armed Guatemalan security forces at the Honduran border post of Corinto.

Their illegal entry — captured in a Facebook livestream — came after a border stand-off as Guatemalan authorities tried to stop them, demanding proof that they did not have COVID-19.

Another 300 migrants also crossed illegally, the Guatemalan migration department said.

Photos show some of the migrants at an earlier stage of their voyage, riding on the flatbed of a truck as they departed San Pedro Sula, about 157 miles north of the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa.

The exodus comes after the coronavirus pandemic dealt a blow to the Central American economy.

“We want to pass peacefully, we don’t want conflicts but we are determined to reach the United States,” one migrant who identified himself as Alberto told the HCH television channel before the migrants streamed into Guatemala. “In Honduras there is nothing, there is no work and you cannot live.”

President Donald Trump has made cracking down on illegal immigration a focal point during his campaign and presidency.
