    Default US ICE agents and Guatemalan police bus caravan members back to Honduras

    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...ck-to-honduras

    A Central American migrant caravan traveling through Guatemala to the southern border of the United States was forced to return to Honduras in an effort that was funded and partially administered by the U.S. government, according to a report.

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Guatemala worked with national police to apprehend approximately 300 migrants in a group that left Honduras on foot earlier this week, the Associated Press reported Friday. Guatemalan law enforcement said the U.S. paid for the three buses used to take the hundreds back to Honduras, signaling a new level of American involvement in blocking migration from the region.

    The group of migrants was apprehended by ICE and Guatemalan police in the Guatemalan town of Cinchado, just miles from the Honduran border. The group was told by Guatemalan officials at the site that they had to bring proper documents with them that were required to pass through the country. ICE did not respond to a request for comment on its involvement.

    Wolf said systems were in place in Guatemala, Mexico, and at the U.S. border to block migrants, including those seeking asylum. The Trump administration has been in talks with El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras over the past year to require asylum-seekers traveling through those countries to seek refuge there first. However, the U.S. has only entered an official agreement with Guatemala, which would mean those passing through from Honduras are supposed to apply for asylum in Guatemala instead of going on to Mexico or the U.S.

    thus ending the caravans for all intent.. all done by Trump by threatening tariffs on Mexico and aid to the northern triangle countries.
    Trump is expected to get about 400 miles of new wall built this year, by using Defense construction money.
    again no help from Congress
