-Honduran family accused the media of being robbed. Guatemala's "Republic"
[South American Overseas Chinese News Network compiled by Men Lingxiao Report] In recent weeks, a large number of illegal immigrants have been intercepted in Guatemala. They attempted to travel through Guatemala and Mexico and head north to the United States. Recently, at the Guatemala border checkpoint, the media interviewed some of the illegal immigrants.
Guatemala's "Republic" reported on October 17 that according to statistics from the Guatemala Immigration Bureau (IGM), from October 1 to 16, a total of 3,007 illegal immigrants from 21 countries were deported from Guatemala, of which 2,354 (78%) were from Venezuela , and the rest were from Ecuador , Cuba , Haiti , Colombia and Dominican Republic. In order to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the country, the Guatemalan authorities have deployed a large number of military and police personnel at the border.
On October 17, Guatemalan media interviewed illegal immigrants at a border checkpoint. Moisés Orellana, a Honduran, explained that his purpose in going to the United States was to reunite with his family. He went to the United States with his daughter, but five years ago, he was deported from the United States.
Aureliana also talked about his experience of being robbed on the immigration road with another Honduran family: "They (robbers) were ambushed in the bushes. When we passed by, they controlled us, took my money, and took away the child's ID. Fortunately, I protected my phone."
While a large number of illegal immigrants were intercepted at the border, a large number of immigrants successfully entered Guatemala. They slept on the streets or were trapped in stations, which posed a great hidden danger to Guatemalan society.
