1,000 Honduran migrants break Guatemala police cordon

More than a thousand Honduran migrants broke through a Guatemalan police cordon on the border with Mexico Sunday as they attempted to join a larger caravan of compatriots heading towards the United States, police and rights groups said. Guatemala's human rights ombudsman, Jordan Rodas, called on his country's authorities in a statement to "protect" the rights of Hondurans during their stay in the country. A caravan that left two weeks ago has made its way into Mexico, where the group has swelled to 7,000 mostly Honduran migrants, according to a UN estimate.
