Fearing deportation, Hondurans in the US send more cash home than ever before

Hondurans in the US are sending more money home due to fears of deportation, leading to a record increase in remittances. President Trump's immigration policies, including ICE operations, have deterred undocumented immigrants from attempting to leave Honduras. Despite the looming threat, Hondurans are sending back more money than ever before, with a 26% rise in remittances to Honduras between January and October compared to the previous year. The undocumented Honduran community in the US is striving to send as much money as possible to their families before potential ICE apprehension, impacting both formal and illegal economies.
