Mexican police intercept 1,000 strong caravan headed for US

Описание: Chaos erupted along a highway in southern Mexico as a caravan with some 1,000 Central American migrants on their way north was intercepted by a special law enforcement unit as the Mexican government escalates efforts to block asylum seekers from reaching the US in response to President Donald Trump's tariff threats. The group of migrants from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, including many women and children, departed from Ciudad Hidalgo at the Mexico-Guatemala border early Wednesday morning and was bound for Tapachula, the principal city in the region. The special unit of 200 military police, immigration agents and federal officers formed a blockade about 11 miles outside of Tapachula near the town of Metapa and confronted the caravan, which was accompanied by state and local police. While the vast majority of the migrants complied with law enforcement directives and boarded buses and immigration agency vehicles, some resisted and were wrestled to the ground by unarmed agents. Parents were seen sitting on the pavement holding their children as the wept and begged authorities not to take them. Others jumped wire fences and ran into the thick forest beside the highway.
