Families Deported from U.S. Amid Series of Raids Arrive in Guatemala City

HeadlineJan 07, 2016

A plane filled with Guatemalans who have been deported from the United States have arrived in Guatemala City, as the U.S. government carries out a national campaign of raids targeting families who have fled to the United States seeking asylum. One of the deported asylum seekers, Marvin Solis, said he felt his rights had been violated.

Marvin Solis: “Like the saying goes, one does harm, and another bears the blame. Some people truly deserve an opportunity over there. And they are carrying out raids, and with that, they end up violating people’s rights.”
