(DailyEmailNews.com) – In a major win for President Trump’s immigration policies, Guatemala has agreed to increase deportation flights from the United States by a staggering 40%.
This breakthrough deal, negotiated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, marks a significant step in cracking down on illegal immigration and securing the southern border.
Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo announced the agreement following talks with Secretary Rubio, demonstrating the Trump administration’s commitment to addressing the immigration crisis head-on.
“We have agreed to increase by 40 percent the number of flights of deportees both of our nationality as well as deportees from other nationalities,” Arevalo stated, highlighting the comprehensive nature of this agreement.
This deal goes beyond just increasing flights. Guatemala has also committed to accepting other illegal aliens deported from the US.
To support this effort, the US plans to provide financial assistance to Guatemala, ensuring that the country has the resources to return these individuals to their home countries.

Secretary Rubio’s visit to Guatemala is part of a broader regional tour aimed at gaining support for President Trump’s tough stance on illegal immigration.
This diplomatic effort showcases the administration’s multifaceted approach to solving the border crisis, combining increased deportations with strategic partnerships in Central America.
The impact of this agreement cannot be overstated. In 2024, approximately 66,000 people were deported from the US to Guatemala.
While the previous Biden administration had been receiving about 14 deportation flights per day in Guatemala, this new agreement, under President Trump’s leadership, is set to dramatically increase those numbers.
In addition to the increased deportation flights, Guatemala is taking proactive steps to address the root causes of illegal immigration.
President Arevalo announced the creation of a new border security force to combat transnational crime, a move that aligns perfectly with President Trump’s emphasis on law and order.
As Secretary Rubio continues his tour of Central America, including stops in Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic, the Trump administration is clearly leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to secure the borders and protect American interests.
This comprehensive approach, combining increased deportations, strategic partnerships, and targeted foreign aid, is exactly what is needed to address the complex challenges of illegal immigration.
With an estimated 11 million undocumented people living in the U.S. as of 2022, this agreement with Guatemala is a crucial step towards regaining control of the borders and enforcing immigration laws.
