Guatemala

Honduras and Guatemala are coordinating traffic measures at the Corinto and Entre Ríos border crossings to speed up truck movement during early morning hours, particularly to handle year-end commercial demand.

National Police arrested a Guatemalan citizen and confiscated about 7 lb (3.2 kg) of suspected marijuana at the El Florido border checkpoint.

Guatemalan authorities located 21 Hondurans in irregular migration status panhandling at traffic lights, markets, and bus terminals in Petén and arranged their return to Honduras, illustrating a less-documented aspect of migration.

Guatemalan migration authorities say the caravan that left San Pedro Sula on Sunday has broken up into small groups moving independently, with about 250 of the roughly 400 Hondurans identified between Monday and Tuesday having entered legally, 106 ordered to leave after irregular entry, and 10 teenagers aged 15–17 placed under state protection.

Guatemala's welfare ministry is providing protection, medical care, and shelter to 10 Honduran adolescents who entered the country as part of a migrant caravan that departed San Pedro Sula, while officials assess their needs and coordinate with Honduran authorities on next steps.

Honduras submitted written observations to the International Court of Justice on September 21 opposing Guatemala's intervention in the dispute over the Zapotillo Cays, which Belice also claims.
