Latin American nation’s constitutional court is set to rule on proposed injunction that would prevent Jimmy Morales from signing safe-third-country agreementMEXICO CITY—Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales scrapped a planned trip to Washington to discuss a controversial immigration proposal that would require migrants from El Salvador and Honduras to seek asylum there rather than the U.S.

The Guatemalan government on Sunday said it would await a decision by the country’s constitutional court, where two motions have been presented seeking an injunction preventing Mr. Morales from signing a safe-third-country agreement with the U.S.

All he needs to do is to stop people from his country who are coming north and build a better and safe country for them.

Why should he do anything. He wanta his people in the US making money to send back to his country.

I’m surprised Guatemala actually has a president.

What type country do u represent when u come to negotiate how many of your citizens can be pawned off on the USA How about he work harder to make his country somewhere folks like to live?

Don’t look now, but your bank account is empty.

The 9th operates in Guatemala too?

Guatemala is refusing to become a safe third country for Asylum seekers. This forces people from other Central American countries to pay coyotes & cartels to help them make the dangerous journey further north. Terrible tragedy.

I scrapped a visit too....far better places to go. Quebec

Wonder why?

Good

AOC proposal calls for environmentally safer military cleanup efforts in Vieques, Puerto RicoThe House passed an amendment introduced by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that would limit the use of open-air detonation in Vieques, a former Navy site and Puerto Rico's most hazardous waste site. Surprised they let people visit Vieques with all the unexploded ordnance all over the island. I was on 7 USN ships & bombed the hell out of Vieques along with other ships & jets. Too bad PR suffered economically when USN pulled out, 6/10 PRs worked on base plus good liberty town. No more money going there. It is embezzled and pi$$ed away by their own politicians. All politics is local and they are swimming in bad politics.

Trump's former ICE chief said Democratic congressman 'ran out' of immigration hearing 'like a little girl'Homan served as Trump's ICE chief until the end of June 2018. He is now a Fox News contributor. Homan is a wimp like Trump - all mouth. There will be a time to deal with all of these child-abusing perverts. That time is coming. This administration lives for little girls running in fear. Trump supporters would let trump rape their own children, they would hold them down for him.

Police: Man dies after attacking immigration prisonA man armed with a rifle and throwing incendiary devices at an immigration jail in Washington state early Saturday morning died after four police officers arrived and opened fire, authorities said. Another trumper bites the dust! Conservatives?!!! Incorrect headline. It's not an Immigration Jail. It's a Privately Owned detention facility. HUGE difference. Shocked more people aren't worried about this whole Prison for Pay thing, the worst kind of 'business', locking humans up for profit.
