1:07Now PlayingGuatemalan troops, police and health workers are setting up 16 checkpoints across the country to try to detect migrants traveling to the U.S. border from Honduras.
Migrants entering Guatemala must present proof of a negative Covid-19 test and a valid passport or ID, the nation’s National Immigration Institute said in a statement Thursday. Guatemalan authorities returned several migrants to Honduras this morning who entered at illegal crossing points.
Thousands of Hondurans left the country this week in the first migrant caravan of 2021, according to local media, after the pandemic and two hurricanes devastated the economy. The flows will pose an early test for Joe Biden after he’s sworn in as U.S. president on Jan. 20.
