U.S. authorities say they picked up nearly 19,000 children traveling alone across the Mexican border in March. It s the largest monthly number ever recorded and a major test for President Joe Biden as he reverses many of his predecessor s hardline immigration tactics.

Taiwan Ally Honduras May Turn to China for Coronavirus Vaccines
12 May 2021
Honduras, an ally of Taiwan, may open a trade office in China to gain access to Chinese-made coronavirus vaccines, Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez said on Tuesday.
Honduras does not have a formal diplomatic relationship with China but is among just 15 countries in the world to maintain diplomatic ties with the nation of Taiwan, which China considers a renegade province.
Honduras is in need of Chinese coronavirus vaccines and may establish a “diplomatic bridge” with China to help convince Beijing to send the Latin American nation a shipment of Chinese-made vaccine candidates, President Hernandez said in a televised speech on May 11. Hernandez suggested that other Latin American nations that have formal ties to China such as El Salvador, Chile, or Mexico could help Honduras establish this “diplomatic bridge” with Beijing and thus help the nation secure Chinese-made vaccines.

After being accused by the United States as the co-conspirator in drug trafficking, the Police in Honduras excavated 1.5 tons of cocaine buried in the ground of a small village in the northern portion of the country.
Based on the statement of the Honduran police, they have found around 1,450 packets of drugs. All of it was hidden inside 58 sacks buried in three large holes dug using heavy machinery. The drugs had apparently been brought to Francia, which is an area close to the coast.
According to WION, Miguel Perez, the head of the special forces police directorate, shared that the haul was the result of intelligence work and demonstrates the hard work done by the National Police Honduras in coordination with other institutions in the country. Perez also added that their target is to dismantle drug structures that operate in the country.
