US Deports Nearly 2,300 Mexicans to Guatemala Under Trump-Era Policy
The United States has deported nearly 2,300 Mexican nationals to Guatemala this year, with dozens more sent to Honduras before being transferred back to Mexico. This practice, initiated during the Trump administration, involves flying deportees to third countries in Central America to deter illegal reentry. Mexico opposes this approach and is working to repatriate its citizens. Guatemalan officials confirm the transfers occur within 24 hours, with transportation costs covered by Mexico or the U.S., while U.S. authorities reaffirm commitment to existing immigration policies.
