A caravan of as many as 9,000 Honduran migrants headed toward the U.S. border is calling on the incoming Biden administration to honor its “commitments” to migrants and asylum seekers, referring to a December pledge to hone a “new approach” to migration issues.

Guatemalan security forces on Sunday used sticks and tear gas to beat back a large migrant caravan bound for the United States, just days ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20. The migrants, including families with young children, are fleeing poverty and violence in a region hammered by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic and back-to-back hurricanes in November.
