Human-rights defenders report that Honduran migrants deported from the US are being transferred to El Salvador under a 'Safe Third Country' agreement and detained in CECOT, a maximum-security prison, rather than processed as migrants.

The United States has temporarily halted interviews for immigrant visas (for permanent residence) while consular staff receive training on evaluating applicants, delaying appointments for thousands of Hondurans seeking family reunification or work-based immigration.

The US Supreme Court rejected an attempt to restrict automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to immigrant parents, preserving a constitutional right dating to 1868, while Honduran human-rights officials urged families with Temporary Protected Status to register their US-born children at consulates.

Karen Flores, a Honduran migrant in Georgia, says she cannot afford plane tickets to return to Honduras with her U.S.-born children after ICE deported her husband, who was the family's sole breadwinner, leaving her in severe financial distress.

The end of Temporary Protected Status for more than 50,000 Hondurans in the US will force returnees to adapt after decades abroad, with experts warning of challenges in employment, housing, and an estimated $240 million annual loss in remittances to families.

Dozens of human-rights activists began a seven-day, 75-mile walk from Tucson to the Sasabe border crossing to raise awareness about the more than 8,000 migrants estimated to have died on the U.S.-Mexico border since the late 1990s, many in Arizona's desert heat.
