DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Wednesday that the three Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador that make up the Northern Triangle want illegal immigrant children in the U.S. to be returned to their home countries.

“What we hear from the Northern Triangle governments – they have said this publicly. I am sure that they will tell you when you visit them – is they want their children back. Our laws uniquely allow us to send Mexican children back home after they have gone through a process, do not have a legal right to stay, but under the law, we cannot send children from other countries back, except for Mexico and Canada,” she told the House Homeland Security Committee.
