GUATEMALA CITY - The first Honduran migrant sent back home under new restrictions pushed by U.S. President Donald Trump expressed sadness and confusion over his whirlwind repatriation on Friday, resigned for now to his failure to join relatives living in America.
Ardon spoke to Reuters in a hallway at a migrants shelter in the Guatemalan capital prior to leaving in a car provided by the U.N. International Organization for Migration . The vehicle was taking him back home to Honduras’ Colon department, a dangerous area known to be plagued by drug trafficking. Upon reaching the United States, he had hoped relatives would meet him. “Supposedly, they were going to pick me up,” he said, explaining that he waited more than two hours.Ardon was accompanied by only a few U.S. migration officials on an otherwise empty plane on Thursday, an arrangement criticized as wildly expensive by Guatemalan President-elect Alejandro Giammattei. He takes office in January and has said he will review the deal struck with the Trump administration.
Ardon’s repatriation under the terms of the deal agreed to by Guatemala’s outgoing President Jimmy Morales is likely to be followed by many more Central Americans sent back home.
