US Deports 2,300 Mexicans to Guatemala Over Objections

The Trump administration has deported nearly 2,300 Mexican nationals to Guatemala rather than Mexico, in a deliberate escalation designed to complicate return journeys and deter future migration. Mexico has formally objected to the third-country deportation tactic, which bypasses the standard bilateral removal process. The move marks a significant hardening of the administration's deportation strategy beyond its existing agreements.
