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 over 2,300 Mexicans to Guatemala and dozens to Honduras, marking a significant shift in deportation practices under President Trump. Previously, Mexicans were mostly sent back to their home country. Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo confirmed that these deportees are being processed in Guatemala before being returned to Mexico within 24 hours. This change has raised concerns among civil organizations, which argue it pressures Mexico and endangers migrants seeking asylum. The Mexican government has expressed opposition to this practice, emphasizing the right of its citizens to return directly to Mexico.
