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."

These poor idiots could have made it here by themselves. Instead they chose the most conspicuous and arrogant alternative.
Precisely.
A minor detail conveniently omitted by the ‘reporter’.
Real nice outfit tho ;-)
They are showing what they are all about.
And people expect them to play nice when they get to the US border????????
I dont think so.
Lots of people post images from obscure stuff and seem to expect others to automatically know what it’s all about.
Then they act surprised that not everyone knows everything they do.
I have no doubt that will happen.
Having some trouble with the context, though. Maybe a bit before my time...
Suddenly Last Summer.
The mob is eating her brother alive.
Thanks .. maybe those aforementioned guys in Mexico City remember that scene.
Seem to recall some of their ancestors having a predilection in that regard.
Not seeing very many “women and children” in those pictures. Hmmmm...
It's a start albeit a small one.
If those are the people fleeing from violence, one has to wonder how bad it really could be back home.
Play stupid games; win stupid prizes.
The movie is an adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play about a homosexual, who uses his mother and then, when she is too old, his cousin ( Elizabeth Taylor ),to attract young men and while they are in Spain, on a beach, a group of young men attack, tear apart,and kill Sebastian Venable ( Taylor's cousin ), the queer.
Why don’t they attack their own government?
the messican govt has offered asylum to those willing to settle in two southern states AND work on infrastructure projects. This solves two issues: safety and work.
This offer is being turned down. They won’t get the same offer in the US. Some of these fools think they’re going to get here and just claim a patch of land, like they do back home and farm bananas. They have no clue.
