Mexico

Honduran families are traveling to Mexico to search for relatives who disappeared during migration, conducting their own investigations since official authorities have provided little help, with over 1,000 Hondurans registered as missing in Mexico.

A caravan of about 300 migrants, predominantly from Honduras, crossed into Mexico from Guatemala on September 25, intending to reach the United States or settle in Mexico, citing economic hardship as their reason for leaving.

A study by Plan Internacional found that hundreds of Honduran children have abandoned hopes of reaching the United States and now live in Mexican camps, where fear of authorities, discrimination, and exposure to violence have left them trapped in prolonged displacement.

Ella Laboriel, a singer and actress of Honduran descent who broke ground in Mexican rock during the 1960s and worked across music, film, and theater, died of a pulmonary illness in Tampico at 77.
