Verified reports confirming a new trend: migrants choosing to return home rather than continue north due to increased border security.
- Feb 3: Honduran officials reported 26 migrants (Venezuelans & Cubans) traveling south back to Nicaragua.
- Feb 5: A group of 23 migrants (Hondurans, Venezuelans, Panamanians, & Salvadoran) was encountered re-entering Honduras from Guatemala after turning back from Mexico.
These individuals cited the heavy security posture along the U.S.-Mexico border and Mexico’s containment efforts as key reasons for reversing course. Families in these groups made a life-saving decision, avoiding the dangers of cartel-controlled territory, where extortion and violence are rampant.
