What happened, for context

The United States has deported approximately 2,300 Mexican nationals to Guatemala in 2026, a shift from prior practice where Mexican deportees were sent directly home. The deportees transit through Guatemala for less than 24 hours before being transferred to Mexico. Guatemala's President Bernardo Arevalo confirmed the arrangement on Wednesday, August 20, 2026. Mexico's government has objected to the practice.
