The thousands-strong migrant caravan attempted to force its way into Mexico from Guatemala but was mostly blocked by federal police officers and forced to sleep on a bridge that links the two countries.

The standoff took place on Oct. 19 after the caravan tore down a fence and rushed the bridge, hoping to get through into Mexico. Migrants have stated that their intention is to illegally enter the United States after traversing Mexico.
