“I was so frightened. The whole family – including my grandmother, aunt, and my husband’s brothers and sisters – met up and left the village. We set off on foot without any belongings. There were about 40 of us, and it took us 20 hours to reach Ouahigouya.”

U.S. firms up asylum deal with El Salvador

By Reuters Staff
2 Min Read
SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - The United States and El Salvador have worked out “operational details” of an agreement in which El Salvador would take in certain migrants who had sought asylum at the U.S. border, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Tuesday.
The deal, called the Asylum Cooperative Agreement (ACA), was first announced in September 2019 and is similar to “safe third country” deals President Donald Trump’s administration has sought with several Latin American countries to curb migration, especially from Central America.
Trump in recent weeks has made a last-minute push to implement tougher immigration rules, a central focus of his administration, despite signs that his successor, Joe Biden, will aim to quickly undo them.
