Honduras Will Accept More Asylum Seekers

Under a new U.S.-Honduras immigration deal, the Central American country will accept more migrants who seek asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. This is part of the 'safe third country' policy that the Trump administration has implemented to curb an influx of Central American migrants. The deal with Honduras is similar to others made with El Salvador last week and Guatemala in July; numerous lawsuits have targeted these policies, but they continue to be enforced as legal disputes continue. Some left-leaning voices have rebuked the Supreme Court ruling, saying the justices have compromised the lives of thousands of refugees. Some on the right lauded the policy as a supposedly humane solution to undocumented immigration; others remain critical of Trump's handling of immigration.
