White House announces border agreements with Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.

White House said it had reached agreements with Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala to step up military presence at their borders in an effort to stem migration to the U.S. It is unclear exactly when the U.S. reached the agreements with the three countries, with the White House only saying they were signed in recent weeks. Under the agreements, Mexico will maintain a presence of 10,000 troops along its southern border. Guatemala will send 1,500 military and police personnel to its border with Honduras, while setting up 12 checkpoints along migration routes.

ICE expelled 33 immigrant children to Guatemala in violation of a judicial order.

Last Wednesday, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the government from sending 33 migrant children who came without parents back to Guatemala. The injunction was issued minutes before and ICE flight left for Guatemala City with the children. An ICE official confirmed that the flight left “shortly before ICE was informed of the court’s injunction.” The official said that ICE officers on the ground did not become aware of the judge’s order until the flight had landed and Guatemalan authorities were greeting the children, who remained in Guatemala as of Tuesday. The expulsion of the 33 children happening on the same day of the order could force the agency to bring back the children because it violated the judge’s decision.

The U.S. has no plans to send asylum seekers to remote regions in Guatemala after the country brought up its plan.

The U.S. and Guatemala signed a “safe third country”-like agreement over the summer that would allow the U.S. to send asylum seekers to Guatemala if they first passed through there on their way to the U.S. This means that asylum seekers from countries like Honduras and El Salvador would be most affected. On Friday, Guatemala brought up a plan to send asylum seekers to remote airports and have them live far from the capital city. Advocates raised concerns about this plan and the risks it would cause to asylum seekers if they were far from services. The U.S. said that it will analyze all airports to determine if they are in suitable areas, and a spokeswoman for DHS said that “the U.S. government has no plans” to fly asylum seekers to a remote jungle airport “at this time.”

8th Circuit rules against asylee

The Eighth Circuit denied the petition for review, holding that the Guatemalan petitioner had not demonstrated that the record compelled the finding that his subjective fear of persecution was objectively reasonable. The court thus found that substantial evidence supported the IJ’s and BIA’s determination that he failed to establish eligibility for asylum.
