Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo announced his country will accept migrants from other countries being deported from the United States, increasing deportation flights by 40%. This agreement, made during a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, aims to address a key challenge in U.S. immigration enforcement. Guatemala will expand its capacity to receive not only its own citizens but also migrants from other countries, who will then be repatriated to their home countries.

Rubio called it a very generous offer but said there were “obviously legalities involved. We have a Constitution.”The agreements with El Salvador and Guatemala potentially help the Trump administration address what has always been a key sticking point in immigration enforcement since not everyone in the U.S. illegally can be easily sent back home.
Arévalo also announced the formation of a new border security force that will patrol Guatemala’s borders with Honduras and El Salvador. The force will be made up of police and soldiers and will combat transnational crime of all kinds, he said.
