Vice President Harris and Guatemalan leader Arévalo discuss immigration

Vice President Kamala Harris met with President Bernardo Arévalo of Guatemala to praise the newly elected leader on his battle against corruption.

Vice President Kamala Harris welcomed Bernardo Arévalo, the newly elected president of Guatemala, to the White House on Monday to praise his battle against corruption and promote their work on stemming migration from Central America. 'Your leadership can help rebuild the Guatemalan people's trust in their institutions, and give them a sense of hope and opportunity,' Harris said.

The safe mobility offices are designed to streamline the U.S. refugee process so migrants apply where they are and avoid paying smugglers to make the journey north. The number of arrests for illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border nudged upward in February over the previous month to 140,644, although it was still among the lowest monthly tallies in Biden’s presidency. Of those, 23,216 were Guatemalan.
