US immigration: Mexican asylum seekers could be deported to Guatemala

    7 January 2020
 

Mexicans seeking asylum in the US could be sent to Guatemala as part of a deal signed by the Trump administration with the Central American country last year.

Under the agreement, migrants from El Salvador and Honduras who pass through Guatemala can be returned to the country to seek asylum there first.

But some Mexican migrants too could now face deportation, the US Department of Homeland Security announced.

Mexico rejected the plan, saying it could affect hundreds of people.
