The U.S. is now routing deported Mexican citizens through Guatemala and Honduras instead of sending them directly back to Mexico — a sharp departure from past practices. Nearly 2,300 Mexicans have been sent to Guatemala this year, with dozens more to Honduras, all as transit points before being returned to Mexico within 24 hours. The Mexican government covers the costs, sometimes with U.S. funding, and these individuals have no asylum or refugee status. Critics see this as a political move to pressure Mexico amid rising tensions over deaths in U.S. custody and as part of broader security cooperation efforts. Mexico strongly opposes the practice, asserting every citizen’s right to return home and working with partners to ensure safe repatriation. Human rights advocates warn this tactic could endanger migrants, especially those seeking asylum, by exposing them to unfamiliar and potentially unsafe conditions.
