GUATEMALA CITY - The first Honduran asylum-seeker arrived in Guatemala on Thursday from El Paso, Texas, under a controversial U.S. agreement that establishes Guatemala as a safe third country to process people fleeing persecution in their homelands.
Guatemalan Interior Minister Enrique Degenhart said the
Honduran man arrived on a flight from the United States earlier
in the morning.
The Honduran was among Guatemalan deportees flown into the
Central American country on one of four U.S. deportation flights scheduled on Thursday, Degenhart said.
