Title: People stand in the Tuilelen's cemetery during the funeral of Rivaldo Jimenez Ramirez, Santa Cristina Garcia and Ivan Gudiel Pablo in Comitancillo, in Guatemala. On January 22, 2021, nineteen charred bodies were found on a country road in Tamaulipas, Mexico's northeastern state bordering the United States. Sixteen of the victims were Guatemalan, and the others of Mexican descent. The bodies were inside a pickup truck, hit by 113 bullets, and then burned. The massacre, according to investigators, would be linked to a dispute between criminal groups for control of migrant routes. The bodies of the victims were sent to their relatives in Guatemala and buried in March, 2021.,

Consumed by grief: In March 2021, the bodies of 13 migrants were returned to their village in Guatemala wrapped in the national flags. It was the inverse of the journey they had made in January when they had left the arid mountains of Comitancillo for the Texas border to find a job. There were 16 of them in all, allegedly killed by Mexican police in Tamaulipas state. Thousands of people, consumed by grief, buried their relatives and friends as if they were burying the hope that a better future was possible.
