A Honduran man was killed late on Sunday as the crackdown on migrants and refugees walking from Central America to the United States intensified, Al Jazeera reports.
Henry Diaz, a 26-year-old Honduran, was shot in the head with a rubber bullet, causing a deep head wound. He died on the way to a local hospital.
Diaz was among more than 1,000 migrants and refugees, most of them from Honduras, who attempted to force their way through the Tecun Uman crossing on Sunday. Police also used tear gas. More than 100 people were wounded.
The group at the Mexican border on Sunday are attempting to catch up to the initial wave of now more than 7,000 migrants and refugees who began their journey north more than two weeks ago. The group has been dubbed a migrant caravan.
Santo Avila, a 29-year-old laborer from Palestina, a rural community in eastern Honduras, spoke to Al Jazeera as he sat on the bridge over the Suchiate River between Guatemala and Mexico. He said the confrontation was a setback for the group.
"If the Mexican government does not let us through then we will have to return to Honduras where we will continue to suffer from extreme poverty and be threatened by the government," he said. "We want to maintain the peace and find the support of the [Mexican] government in order to find opportunity."

IN addition, I think the Mexicans have figured out that Trump is not bluffing about closing the border.
How many more have to die for Democrat/Soros Propaganda?
If Mexico loses trade with the US, Mexico starves to death, and it’s ‘elites’ will be slaughtered by the ravenous mobs.
Perhaps a couple folks in Mexico City have decided it’s in their best interests to favor the side that butters their bread . . .
Orangeman’s fault!
TRANSLATION: We Will TAKE what we want! And if you get in the way, we will kill you all!
Spoken like a true '29 year old laborer', ehh ?
Play stupid games...
“Caravan?”
No. It’s a MOB!
“Migrant workers?” BULLSH*T!
“Migrant” workers first obtain visas and work permits, enter a country LEGALLY - and then RETURN to THEIR HOME COUNTRY OF ORIGIN when the work is done.
“Refugees?” MORE BULLSH*T!
A refugee does not refuse asylum when offered by a country - in this case, Mexico offered such, and these “refugees” REFUSED ASYLUM.
Rubber bullet in the head - Awe, gee - that’s just too fkg bad. Next time obtain proper permission before attempting to criminally trespass another bnation’s legally recognized sovereign borders.
I have absolutely no pity for these stupid fools.
One down.
My guess is there is some quiet contact telling Mexico that a suspension of all money transfers will happen if they don’t shape up
It’s an invasion force of disgruntled Marxists....period
An organization like the March of Dimes could raise about a trillion dollars in a matter of weeks if they simply turned that charade into a walk-a-thon.
They are neither migrants or refugees! They are criminal invaders funded by George Soros. Too bad for the guy but he put himself in the situation and took a chance and lost. Trust me, the people who are funding the invasion will not lose a seconds sleep over this guys death.
Beat me to it.
The use of excessive force has been approved.
We are sick of MOBS, whether White or Brown. These people will not be an asset to our country. and we have no obligation to subject our country to this illegal assault.
All he had to do is read it from the pamphlet he was given.
Better a Honduran “migrant” than another Kate Steinle, or Molly Tibbets.
$100 apiece to sign up for an unarmed invasion.
It’s a fustercluck on several different levels.
