Mexican security forces started taking a much tougher approach to Central American migrants earlier this week after hundreds entered the country illegally from Guatemala in an attempt to reach the U.S.-Mexican border. Critics accused Lopez Obrador of doing Trump’s bidding after essentially erecting a “wall” of security forces that resulted in chaos. Gomez was one of the many Central American migrants who got caught up in the scramble earlier this week.
Reuters was unable to determine how many of the migrants who had crossed into Mexico were still in the area. Even as chances of succeeding looked increasingly slim, many were clinging to hopes they would eventually reach the United States.
