Hondurans rally outside Guatemalan Consulate in San Francisco to decry detainment of migrants

A group of Honduran nationals and their supporters rallied outside San Francisco’s Guatemalan Consulate on Oct. 19 to decry what they say are injustices being committed against immigrants traveling through there on their way to the U.S.

“It’s time the Guatemalan government stand up for its Honduran brothers and sisters,” said Alex Mensing with the San Francisco-based organization Pueblo Sin Fronteras, a group that advocates for migrants’ human rights. “The people who are currently fleeing Honduras are being forcibly displaced from their country … and that is a direct result of the corrupt Honduran government and U.S. intervention and support for that corrupt government.”
