The United States deports nearly 2,300 Mexicans to Guatemala this year and has transferred dozens or more to Honduras, according to official figures cited by outlets. The reporting describes these moves as part of a broader shift toward so-called “third-country” deportations.
The Independent and City News Toronto both reference data showing that transfers are substantially higher than at the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, when such arrangements were described as minimal. The articles do not provide detailed case-by-case information in the excerpts, but they link the increase to changes in how the U.S. manages deportation logistics and destinations for people from Mexico.
Both outlets present the figures as evidence of a ramp-up in third-country removals to Guatemala and Honduras, though they differ slightly in emphasis, with one foregrounding the scale of Guatemala removals and the other describing the broader Guatemala-and-Honduras pattern, including the lower but ongoing number sent to Honduras. The common focus is on the reported increase in transfers relative to earlier in the term.
