US Deportations Send 2,284 Mexicans to Guatemala, Sparking Mexican Protests

The United States has deported about 2,284 Mexican nationals to Guatemala this year, despite Mexico’s protests, as part of a broader third-country deportation pattern under President Trump. The transfers occur in transit with repatriation to Mexican territory within 24 hours of arrival, and some Mexicans have also been sent to Honduras. DHS calls it the largest deportation operation in history, while critics say the policy uses deterrence and punishment and rights groups point to human rights concerns. Mexico has filed complaints over the practice and condemned ICE detention conditions; since Trump’s return to office, at least 15 Mexican nationals have died in ICE custody, with three more dying during enforcement operations, highlighting ongoing tensions in US-Mexico migration policy.

Fuego Volcano Persists in Dangerous Eruption as Guatemalans Evacuate

Guatemala’s Fuego volcano remains dangerous in a days-long eruption, with activity gradually reducing but ongoing risks from collapsing summit material that could trigger pyroclastic flows. Ashfall has affected about 29,000 people, and more than 1,700 have been evacuated. Authorities warn lahars could form if rain arrives, three regions are under red alerts, and roads and schools are being affected, while the main airport stays open and monitoring continues for roughly 72 hours.

Fuego Eruption Forces Mass Evacuations as Lava Rivers Flow Toward Guatemalan Villages

Guatemala’s Fuego volcano erupted for about a day, sending lava flows and ash up to six kilometres high and prompting hundreds of residents on its slopes to evacuate to shelters; authorities issued a high alert, warned of hot debris flows, closed a road around the range, suspended nearby school classes, and cautioned air traffic, though Guatemala City’s airport remained unaffected.

Magnitude-7.3 quake off Mexico’s Pacific coast spurs shaking across the region with limited damage

A powerful 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck off Mexico’s southern Pacific coast near Chiapas, with its epicenter about 30 miles southwest of Aquiles Serdan at a depth of roughly 9 miles. The tremor was felt from Mexico City to Central America; officials report no fatalities or major damage so far, though two people were injured in southern Mexico and a migrant in Tapachula was affected. Tsunami warnings were issued for up to about 1 meter of wave height off parts of Mexico and Guatemala, and beach access was advised for several hours. Guatemala reported no damage and Mexico City noted the energy release did not trigger a tsunami alert there; aftershocks followed as residents continued to feel the shaking. The region remains prone to earthquakes, with past events causing significant casualties.
