WASHINGTON – Hundreds of migrants waded into a river on the southern Mexico border as they tried to reach the United States (US).
The migrants, mainly from Honduras, took to the water after being refused permission to cross a bridge.
Mexico has cut off migration routes to the US under pressure from President Donald Trump.
Hundreds appeared to have breached police lines and entered Mexico.
Those crossing the river are part of a 2,000 to 3,500-strong group dubbed “2020 Caravan,” evoking previous attempts to cross Mexico en masse to reach the US border.(BBC)
