U.S. Quietly Deports Mexicans to Guatemala, Honduras; Mexico Objects
- The Trump administration has been quietly deporting Mexican migrants to Guatemala and Honduras, flying them around Mexican territory instead of returning them to their homeland, according to Department of Homeland Security officials.
- Officials said one objective of the deportations, which have not been formally announced, is to deter illegal immigration by sending Mexican citizens farther south and away from the U.S.-Mexico border.
- Researcher Adam Isacson at the Washington Office on Latin America called the policy "almost entirely punitive," saying it aims to "broadcast the hardship" and encourage undocumented migrants to self-deport.
- Mexico's Foreign Ministry rejected the deportations of Mexican nationals to third countries, stating it "consistently takes the steps necessary to ensure the safe and dignified return of all its nationals to national territory."
- Department of Homeland Security representatives did not respond to questions about the deportations or clarify how many Mexican citizens have been sent to Honduras and Guatemala, leaving operational details obscure.
