Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Hotair.com: “Guatemalan police dismantle caravan headed for United States”. Below is an excerpt from the article.
Yesterday, Karen wrote about the latest migrant caravan which had come from Honduras and broken through the border with Guatemala. Here’s one of the showdowns between the caravan and Guatemalan police:

A steep mountain and tall wall flanking the rural highway have allowed Guatemalan authorities to bottle up the group that had numbered about 2,000 when it pushed into Guatemala Friday night.
Their ranks have reduced through attrition as some migrants have agreed to be bused back to the Honduran border. A Guatemalan official repeated that offer Monday morning, telling the migrants they had buses at the ready for those who wanted to return to Honduras. A smaller number have been forcefully sent back after scuffling with authorities who held their line with baton strikes and tear gas.
A breakaway group of nearly 1,000 made it farther up the road but they are also blocked now. Video of the standoff shows that earlier today some trucks became involved:

#Guatemala's military and police gave Honduran migrants 10 minutes to clear out 15 minutes ago. They've been preparing to advance. But now a few massive trucks are on the migrants' side. Security forces advancing. pic.twitter.com/irlkKDLxX7
