Migrants in border clash at Mexico

-

THOUSANDS of people travelling across Central America are stuck on Mexico’s southern border after a failed bid to enter the US.

Some of them broke through Guatemalan border fences but then clashed with Mexican riot police in no man’s land.

On Friday, President Donald Trump thanked Mexico for its efforts in stopping the caravan of migrants. Mostly from Honduras, they say they are fleeing violence and poverty, and include women and children.

After talks on border security, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the situation was reaching “a

moment of crisis”.
