Original Date Announced
July 8, 2025On July 8, 2025, DHS published an agreement with Honduras under which certain non-Honduran migrants who seek asylum or other humanitarian protection in the U.S. may be removed to Honduras to seek protection there. Under the agreement, the United States will determine protection requests for individuals determined by the U.S. to be unaccompanied minors or individuals who arrived in the U.S. with a valid visa or admission document or who were not required to have a visa to enter the U.S. The agreement between the countries was signed in March 2025 and amended in June 2025 to clarify that it will apply retroactively to individuals who seek protection in the U.S. before the date the agreement enters into force, and not just to those who seek protection on or after the agreement goes into effect.
