SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Wednesday that Central American nations have agreed to do more to stop migrant caravans and fight transnational crime.
Nielsen spoke in El Salvador's capital during a meeting with her Central American counterparts to discuss a regional security plan to fight illegal human trafficking, organized crime and gangs, and expand intelligence sharing and fortify border security.
She said the region is facing a humanitarian and security crisis, adding that "I want to thank my colleagues for their determination to increase cooperation with respect to caravans."
