Guatemala has granted temporary residency to 207 Mexican nationals, primarily children, who fled violence from drug cartels. This decision follows nearly 600 Mexicans crossing the border last week. The residency allows for 30 days of legal status, with the option to request asylum afterward. The ongoing conflict between Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels has led to significant displacement in southern Mexico.
