Missing Migrants

Honduras has launched a partnership with the International Committee of the Red Cross and other institutions to identify Honduran migrants who die during migration using fingerprint analysis, helping families learn the fate of missing relatives.

Honduran families are traveling to Mexico to search for relatives who disappeared during migration, conducting their own investigations since official authorities have provided little help, with over 1,000 Hondurans registered as missing in Mexico.

Honduras's Foreign Ministry launched an urgent appeal to locate five Honduran migrants whose families are urged to contact the migration protection directorate, though authorities did not disclose the reason for the search.

Three Hondurans among seven migrants reported missing in Mexico's Chiapas state between 2016 and 2023 have been located in the United States, where authorities confirmed they entered irregularly.

Cases of Honduran migrants who vanished in Veracruz, Tamaulipas, and Jalisco over the past decade—including José Rafael Rivera in 2008, Aaron Eleazar Carrazco Turcios in 2012, and Oscar Antonio López Enamorado in 2010—remain unsolved as families hold out hope for information on their whereabouts.
