Guatemala's Acceptance of Deportees

Guatemala has opened its borders to accept deportees from other Central American nations, aiming to foster stronger regional cooperation as it prepares for the incoming Trump administration. This decision reflects the country's desire to contribute positively to regional migration issues, as strained diplomatic relations have complicated deportation efforts from the U.S. Previously, many countries, including Nicaragua and Venezuela, faced challenges in accepting deported nationals. The statistics indicate that a significant portion of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. originate from Central America, particularly Mexico and Guatemala, highlighting the importance of this agreement.
