In January 2020, fleeing violence and poor economic conditions, a group of Hondurans organised a huge migrant caravan that travelled through Guatemala into Mexico. After travelling for eight days, the caravan crossed the Suchiate River into Mexico and were met by the recently established Guardia Nacional composed of former federal, military and naval police. The largest group crossed the Suchiate River and were teargassed by the Guardia Nacional. The caravan successfully crossed the Suchiate River from Guatemala to Mexico. So they made their way down to the shallow waters of the Suchiate River, and they walked a few miles into Ciudad Hidalgo.
