US persuades Central American countries to accept its rejected immigrants MalaysiaNow 16/12/2020 © Provided by MalaysiaNow
The Trump administration said on Tuesday that it has signed an agreement with El Salvador’s government to send asylum-seekers who reach US borders to the Central American nation to seek protection there instead, the Associated Press reports.
The agreement is modelled on arrangements that the US has reached with El Salvador’s neighbors, Guatemala and Honduras.
But only 20 of nearly 1,000 Hondurans and El Salvadorans who have been turned back from the US and flown to Guatemala have decided to seek asylum there. With so many returning to their home countries instead, the policy became known as “deportation with a layover”.
