SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras (Reuters) - A few hundred Hondurans formed a caravan bound for the United States on Wednesday after hurricanes battered the country, posing a fresh challenge to efforts to stem illegal immigration from Central America on the cusp of a new U.S. administration.

We lost everything, we have no choice but to go to the United States,” an unidentified middle-aged man in the caravan with his wife and cousin told Honduran television.

The migrants pushed past about 2,000 police and soldiers posted at the border yesterday and today, and most entered without showing the negative coronavirus test that Guatemala requires.

The Central American migrants from the new caravan to the United States say they want to enter the country because Joe Biden promised them amnesty in the first 100 days of his government.
