Around 250 Honduran migrants were joined by a group of Venezuelans fleeing poverty and seeking to reach the United States, a migration official said on Thursday.
Local TV showed the group of mostly young Hondurans leaving the northern city of San Pedro de Sula, a traditional departure point since 2018 for migrants looking to reach the United States.
Honduras' National Immigration Institute (INM) said members of the group have since early morning been walking along the so-called Western Highway, which runs toward Guatemala, looking to reach a border post known as Agua Caliente.
