Mexico rejects US deportations of its citizens to Guatemala and Honduras
The Trump administration is reportedly conducting a covert deportation policy, sending Mexican nationals to Guatemala and Honduras instead of returning them to Mexico. According to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials, this strategy aims to deter irregular migration by placing deportees significantly further from the U.S.-Mexico border.
Reports indicate that hundreds of Mexican citizens have been transported to these Central American countries over several months. These deportation flights reportedly cross Mexican territory to reach their destinations. Monitoring by Third Country Deportation Watch documented at least 1,569 Mexicans sent to Guatemala and 165 to Honduras through mid-July.
The Mexican government has formally rejected this practice. Mexico's Foreign Ministry stated that it accepts the return of all its nationals and has no agreement in place for deportations to third countries. Officials emphasized that Mexico consistently works to ensure the safe and dignified return of its citizens to national territory.
