Haven't heard from these migrants in awhile. I thought they had given up, but apparently they haven't stopped trying to get in the country but rather, the big networks just stopped covering them.
Mexican authorities have been getting tougher on these central Americans trying to cross into Mexico to get to the US

The Central Americans, from the so-called "2020 Caravan" of around 3,500 undocumented migrants, gathered on the Guatemalan side of the Suchiate River at dawn, demanding migration authorities let them continue their journey to the United States.
When authorities did not immediately respond, the migrants began fording the river, which is shallow this time of year.
Mexican troops fired tear gas in an attempt to force them back. Scores of migrants, many with cloths tied around their faces to protect them from the tear gas, pelted the military police guarding the river with large stones, as the latter sheltered behind riot shields.
"Let us through! Put your hands on your hearts," shouted a Honduran migrant named Jorge, who was traveling with his wife and two young children.
