On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced some good news on the illegal immigration front. A deal had been struck with Guatemala, also involving Mexico and Honduras, wherein they would increase the number of troops and security personnel along their border and frequently used migration routes to stem the flow of migrants heading north. She went on to say that Guatemala had “surged 1,500 police and military personnel†to the border with Honduras as part of this effort. ...There was only one problem with that story. Guatemalan officials released their own statement yesterday saying that there was no new agreement with the Biden administration and no such agreement had been signed. Further, they moved all of those troops months ago. ......Despite the credit that Jen Psaki was trying to give to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Guatemalan President Alejandro Guimmattei ordered those troops to the border immediately after taking office on January 14th of this year. And for those of you who have already thrown away those pages from your calendar, that was when Trump was still in office]/i].
