Mexico’s southern state of Chiapas saw intense violence as local National Guard officers faced off with a migrant caravan moving north to Mexico City. Scuffles reportedly resulted in injuries on both sides.
The Mexican National Guard was deployed to Chiapas in recent days to halt a migrant caravan that set off on foot last month from the country’s southern border with Guatemala. Around 3,000 people are currently moving north to Mexico City in the hope of eventually reaching the US border.

After Mexican cops shot dead a Cuban migrant on Sunday, watch the caravan defend itself today against a militarised National Guard in the state of #Chiapas. This is what resistance looks like comrades. Solidarity with the migrant caravan✊🏽
