Honduras’ Role in Northward Migration of Foreigners

Between January 1 and December 10, 2023, 517,939 migrants entered Honduras on their northward journey to the U.S. They came from Venezuela (221,131), Haiti (89,344), Cuba (79,799), Ecuador (43,926), Columbia (12,271), China (10,911), Guinea (10,569) and more than 30 other countries (52,988).

Many of these migrants are welcomed in four Honduras Government Centers for Attention to Irregular Migrants (CAMI), where their biometric data is taken and they receive food and medical care.

According to the Honduras National Commissioner for Human Rights (CONADEH), these migrants suffer many abuses, mainly in the illegal charging of intercity transportation and abuses by police agents.
