US deports nearly 2,300 Mexicans to Guatemala despite objections

The US has sent about 2,300 Mexican nationals to Guatemala this year, a practice Mexico opposes. Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo confirmed the arrivals, saying deportees are returned to Mexico within 24 hours. Critics call the third-country deportations an intimidation tactic, while the US says it is using lawful options for the largest deportation operation in history.
