GUATEMALA CITY: A group of hundreds of US-bound migrants has disintegrated in Guatemala a day after setting out from neighbouring Honduras, with about 200 detained and a smaller group allowed to continue with travel documents, authorities said Sunday.
On Saturday, Guatemalan Migration Institute spokeswoman Alejandra Mena said about 200 migrants had been detained near the border with Honduras.
About 80 people with the documents required to transit through Guatemala were allowed to continue their journey, Mena said in an update on Sunday.
Local media said a caravan of about 500 souls -- mainly Venezuelans -- had set out from the northern Honduran city of San Pedro Sula on Saturday -- the first such group to leave the country this year.
