It is noteworthy that since 2018, thousands of Central Americans have tried to reach the United States via Mexico to escape poverty and violence in their countries, and more than 12 human convoys have tried without success to cross the border between Mexico and the United States, the last of which contained 9,000 people from Honduras, But Guatemalan police intercepted them only 50 km from the border with Honduras.
