Sec. Marco Rubio Wins Big Migrant Deportation Deal with Guatemala
by Neil Munro 5 Feb 2025
Sec. of State Marco Rubio has inked a deal with Guatemala that allows U.S. officials to deport many migrants from many nations to the poor Central American nation.
The deal is valuable for Americans because it helps the United States to deport migrants from countries whose home governments refuse to take back their own migrants. These so-called “recalcitrant” countries include three of the major migrant countries — China, India, and Venezuela.
It also helps speed the deportation of migrants from the many countries that obstruct, slow, and delay the official documents that allow the United States to land the deportees at foreign airports.
Democrats in Congress have little power to frustrate the deal or the similar deal that Rubio negotiated with El Salvador.
