US deportation flights to Guatemala resume
June 10, 2020 GMT
GUATEMALA CITY (AP) The United States resumed deportation flights to Guatemala Tuesday, nearly a month after the Central American country refused to accept them.
A flight from Alexandria, Louisiana landed in the Guatemalan capital Tuesday afternoon. The plane carried 40 adults and 10 children.
At least 186 Guatemalan deportees had tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in the country even after U.S. assurances that they were healthy.
The flights scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday this week will carry fewer deportees, about 50, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Patricia Letona. She did not provide details on any new procedures to guarantee the health of the deportees.
