Guatemalan authorities crack down on thousands of US-bound migrants fleeing poverty and violence
Between 7,000 and 8,000 migrants have entered Guatemala since Friday, according to its immigration authority, fleeing poverty and violence in a region battered by the pandemic and back-to-back hurricanes in November.
