US EditionHonduras and US discuss immigration, security after tense start under Trump
- On June 26, US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem met with Honduras President Xiomara Castro in Tegucigalpa during her ongoing three-day visit to Central America to address issues related to immigration and border security.
- The meeting followed past tensions between the US and Honduras, including a canceled extradition treaty, while both sides aim to improve cooperation on migration, drug trafficking, and biometric data sharing.
- Noem engaged with leaders across Panama, Costa Rica, and Honduras, securing commitments to curb undocumented migration and drug trafficking, with Honduran President Mulino claiming border control regained after stopping hundreds of thousands of illegal entries.
- Dr. Claudia Kramer, a local professor researching four decades of immigrant impact, said immigrants contribute more than they take, have lower crime rates than US citizens, and that mass deportations would cause major economic and social harm.
- The ongoing diplomatic talks suggest a cautious thaw in US-Honduras relations and reflect a complex balance of migration control efforts and recognition of immigrants’ social and economic roles.
