More than 2, 300 Mexicans sent to Guatemala and Honduras as Trump ramps up third-country deportations
· KRGV (NBC 5)
In 2025, the U.S. has deported nearly 2,300 Mexicans to Guatemala and dozens to Honduras, marking a significant shift in immigration policy under President Trump. Previously, most deported Mexicans were sent directly back to Mexico. Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo confirmed that these deportees are temporarily housed in Guatemala before being returned to Mexico within 24 hours. The Mexican government has expressed opposition to this practice, asserting that all citizens have the right to return home directly. Concerns have been raised about the safety of deportees, especially those who may have sought asylum in the U.S.
