TEGUCIGALPA - The United States said on Wednesday it had reached an agreement with three Central American countries to carry out joint police operations in the region, as the Trump administration seeks to stem the flow of migrants across its southern border.
A series of migrant caravans from the region have traveled to the United States’ southern frontier over the past year to seek asylum, drawing the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has made border security a top priority. “I’m pleased to announce the U.S. & our Northern Triangle allies have reached a HISTORIC agreement to confront the root causes of the crisis on our border,” Nielsen said on Twitter.
Multiple U.S. agencies, including the State Department, U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Department of Defense, have helped train or assist police and security forces in Central America. The assistance is meant to help forces overcome corruption and fight organized crime.
