A lawsuit filed by the family says they were taken first to the U.S. Border Patrol’s processing center in McAllen, Texas, a former warehouse where migrants are held in large fenced-in pens, then to a complex of tents built at the port city of Donna, where they were held for several days longer than the Border Patrol’s own 72-hour limit to detain people.

President Donald Trump’s administration struck a deal last year with the Guatemalan government to take in asylum-seekers from Honduras and El Salvador, and has since said it will send Mexicans to Guatemala as well. The U.S. has also announced similar deals with Honduras and El Salvador. As of earlier this month, about 100 Hondurans and Salvadorans had been sent to Guatemala.

Tens of thousands of people annually flee El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras — collectively forming Central America’s “Northern Triangle — due to endemic violence, poverty, and political and religious persecution. Experts on the Northern Triangle say those countries can’t be expected to take in asylum seekers when many of their own citizens are fleeing. The American Civil Liberties Union and other legal groups sued Wednesday to try to prevent the agreements from being enforced.

Their lawsuit alleges that after the mother said she feared returning to Honduras — where she says gangs demanded monthly payments or they would kill her and her children — she “was instructed that she could either return to Honduras or be sent to Guatemala and had to decide immediately."

These children and families have nothing and no way to take back their government from corruption. They tried in 2009. I know because I was there and got out the day before they threw their president out. They need help!

Cus that’s what Jesus would do! Ain’t that long ago all these so called Christians wore an arm band asking WWJD? I guess it turns out they think he wouldn’t do much or the right thing

Posted ad nauseam since last week.

Don't they have hospitals in Guatemala?

Perfect!

WTF is wrong with these people? The GOP senators said this stuff was done in error and the administration didn’t mean to this to families with suck kids.

May the lord watch over this family. None of us will escape judgement day. Remember that when you have to answer for your deeds.

US envoy say it's his mustache; South Koreans say otherwiseIs it the 'stache? U.S. ambassador to South Korea Harry Harris says he has been harshly criticized in his host country because of his mustache and his Japanese ancestry. Critics in Seoul say it has more to do with a rude and undiplomatic manner. Ok soooo, shave it, or don’t be a dick. That’s not hard. Looks like George W Bush with a fake mustache. The current administration handicaps the State Dept whenever it gets a chance to, either by sending political lackies or neglect. Even our allies get screwed
