In Mexico, immigration and security forces violently blocked the passage of hundreds of asylum seekers in the southern state of Chiapas who hoped to reach the U.S. for refuge. The caravan was largely made up of Central American and Haitian families.

In more immigration news, the Biden administration is once again deporting asylum seekers to Guatemala City by air — marking a possible end to the practice of expelling asylum seekers to a remote jungle in the Guatemala-Mexico border. This is an asylum seeker who was deported to Guatemala last week.

Reginaldo Tum Cavallo: “For now, we lost, and it’s not worth crying over, because the trip cost us money. We didn’t leave with our own money, but with borrowed money. It’s a harsh situation because things are very hard here. We lost. We need to carry on here in Guatemala, take any jobs we can find, because life is hard here. We were unexpectedly deported for wanting to live the American dream.”
