Guatemala Agrees to Accept U.S. Deportees from Any Nationality

Guatemala's President Bernardo Arévalo announced that the country will accept migrants deported from the U.S., following an agreement with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. This deal includes a 40% increase in the number of deportation flights, which will also cover deportees from other nations, with the return of these individuals to their home countries being funded by the U.S. The announcement came during Rubio's Central America tour, where he also secured a broader agreement with El Salvador, allowing for the acceptance of deportees of any nationality, including American citizens convicted of violent crimes. Both agreements reflect the Trump administration's focus on immigration issues. Rubio acknowledged the potential legal challenges of the proposals, while Trump expressed a willingness to consider sending U.S. criminals abroad if legally feasible. Overall, these developments highlight ongoing efforts to manage immigration and deportation policies in the region.
