Four Hondurans drowned in Ohio's Scioto River while attempting to rescue a Salvadoran man in distress; Honduras's Foreign Ministry has begun repatriation procedures for the bodies, and surviving children are in U.S. protective custody pending return to Honduras.

The US Department of Homeland Security has capped international student visa stays at four years and foreign journalist permits at 240 days (eight months), with extensions available if approved, affecting Honduran students and media professionals seeking to work or study in the United States.
