Guatemala: Police rescue migrants from abandoned container

Guatemalan police have rescued 126 migrants who were trapped inside an abandoned container at the side of a road.

The migrants were found early in the morning near the towns of Nueva Concepción and Cocales after passersby heard screams.

The Guatemalan authorities suspect the migrants were on their way to the US through Mexico.

Most of those released are believed to be from Haiti. People from Nepal and Ghana were also found, but 109 were from Haiti alone.

They were given first aid before being moved to a nearby shelter run by the Guatemalan Migration Institute.

As they made their journey in Central America through Honduras, the migrants will now be handed back to the Honduras authorities.

Mexico, had just yesterday detained over 650 migrants being transported in refrigerated trucks near the US/Mexico border.

As the numbers are continuing to climb, experts fear that the 60,000 estimated trekkers are just about to flood in.

Thousands of Haitians fled to South American countries to find work. After living there for years, they are now making way for the United States.

The 7.2-magnitude earthquake was seen as the reason by the surges, but border officials made a surprising revelation.

Saying the majority of Haitian migrants are not coming directly from Haiti. Those coming have lived in South American countries for years.

The Southern border is already overwhelmed with record-breaking surges.

Further arrivals are anticipated to make the situation worse and further dent the evolving humanitarian crisis.

After President Biden’s promises at the campaign trail, hundreds of thousands of migrants started arriving at the border.

Since then, the Biden Administration has been busy telling the migrants not to come, but they are not listening.

As thousands keep on positioning themselves besides the US/Mexico border. Things are expected to heat up as Haitian migrants were already caught violently attacking US planes that had taken them back to their country.

US Special envoy to Haiti also resigned in protest late in September, over the deportations which he called “inhumane.”

About 8,000 Haitians have been deported so far from the over 11,000 that arrived mid-September.

Haiti’s Prime Minister while hiding his government’s incompetence directed all responsibility on the “rich” or “better” countries.
