United States deports over 2,300 Mexicans to Guatemala and Honduras as third-country transit stops
The Trump administration has deported approximately 2,284 Mexican nationals to Guatemala and at least 282 to Honduras in 2026, flying them to Central America before bussing them to southern Mexico. Guatemala's President Arévalo confirmed the arrivals as transit stopovers coordinated with Mexican immigration authorities, with deportees transferred to Mexico within 24 hours. Mexico's Foreign Ministry formally objected to the practice, stating it has no agreement for third-country deportations of its citizens.
