Families Deported from U.S. Amid Series of Raids Arrive in Guatemala City
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A plane filled with Guatemalans who have been deported from the United
States have arrived in Guatemala City, as the U.S. government carries
out a national campaign of raids targeting families who have fled to the
United States seeking asylum. One of the deported asylum seekers, Marvin
Solis, said he felt his rights had been violated.

Marvin Solis: "Like the saying goes, one does harm, and another bears
the blame. Some people truly deserve an opportunity over there. And they
are carrying out raids, and with that, they end up violating people's
rights."
