CICIG was established in 2007 via UN to help tackle organised crime that first emerged during Guatemala’s brutal 36-year civil war when corrupt security officials with political ties became involved in drug trafficking and contraband.
A 1996 peace deal ended the conflict but not the criminality. Instead new groups infiltrated politics, security forces and the criminal justice system, operating with almost total impunity.
Over the past eight years, CICIG has investigated around 200 complex cases to help bring charges against a dozen criminal networks and almost 200 current and former government officials – including two former presidents, several ministers, police chiefs and military officers. It has helped to weed out hundreds of corrupt police, prosecutors and judges. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/09/guatemala-president-otto-perez-molina-cicig-corruption-investigation

4-23-2018 A report conducted by the Washington D.C.-based transparency organization, Judicial Watch, described the activities of the Open Society Foundation, funded by billionaire George Soros, in Guatemala. According to Judicial Watch (JW), Soros and his foundation promote and advance a “radical, progressive agenda that seeks to destabilize legitimate governments, erase national borders and identities, target conservative politicians, finance civil unrest, subvert institutions of higher education and orchestrate refugee crises for political gain.”
Guatemala is one of three Central American nations that contributes the bulk of illegal border-crossers to the United States. Plagued with gang violence, narco-trafficking, income disparities, and poor governance, Guatemala is sliding into crisis....
The Soros network, according to JW, is active in politics, economics, and civil society throughout Latin America. JW asserts that Guatemala, a small republic in Central America that has seen decades of Marxist insurgency, criminal violence, failed government and outmigration has been targeted by Soros and his affiliates for an aggressive “campaign of subversion and political manipulation that threatens the sovereignty of a constitutional republic and ally of the United States.”
In an interview with Spero News investigative journalist Fergus Hodgson said, “Many locals have long been aware of this destabilizing funding. Although the armed confrontation ended in 1996 with the peace accord, the Marxists didn't give up their goal of controlling Guatemala in enacting socialist policies with themselves at the helm. Rather they founded NGOs and political organizations and sought foreign aid under the guise of human rights.” Hodgson, who resides in Guatemala, said that “Here the leftists, communists, progressives or collectivists, whatever you want to call them, resort to the same tactics they use in the United States. Because they can’t win at the polls they resort to using nonprofits, pressure groups, and legal tactics to get their way.” http://www.speroforum.com/a/QELNGCORMP5/83221-George-Soros-and-deep-state-contribute-instability-and-migrants-from-Central-America#.W8eGf7Q-BbU

5-4-2018 NEW YORK/TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - The Trump administration said on Friday it will end temporary protections for immigrants in the United States from Honduras on Jan. 5, 2020, leaving potentially 57,000 people vulnerable to deportation. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-honduras/trump-administration-moves-to-expel-some-57000-hondurans-idUSKBN1I52DW

6-5-2018 Washington, DC—Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) took to the floor of Congress yesterday to voice his support for the international organized crime-fighting commission in Guatemala, CICIG. Leahy’s statement was a pointed rebuke of Florida Senator Marco Rubio for his recent decision to place a hold on U.S. funding for CICIG. Leahy was also pushing back against Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and other Republican senators for a hearing they held in April to air grievances about CICIG’s role in Guatemala. https://unredacted.com/2018/06/05/why-does-sen-rubio-want-to-stop-u-s-funding-for-crime-fighting-commission-in-guatemala/

9-14-2018 Flanked by high-ranking military and police officers, Guatemala’s President Jimmy Morales declared that the country’s fight against corruption and impunity was over. In a scene evocative of the country’s repressive military history, he claimed that the Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (Cicig) – a body established by the United Nations in 2007 to help dismantle powerful criminal networks – had in fact encouraged corruption, selectively pursued criminal cases based on ideological bias and sown “judicial terror”. Morales presented no evidence….In recent months, Morales has sacked pro-Cicig officials including the police chief, security minister and chief tax inspector. Cicig chief, Iván Velásquez, has been blocked from re-entering Guatemala for unspecified “reasons of order and public security”…. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/13/guatemala-jimmy-morales-corruption-cicig

6-21-2018 She set off on the dangerous migrant trail north, along with her husband, 12-year-old son, and her sister’s orphaned 13-year-old daughter. After crossing the Mexican border her husband and a friend had to carry her 36 miles along the road to this town of Tenosique in southeast Mexico. Here they have applied to Mexico for refugee status, arguing the gangsters who killed her sister could target her niece for being a potential witnesses or go after other family members. “I pray to God, we will be approved asylum. Because there is no way we can turn back,” Gusman, 32, told TIME in June, sitting outside a migrant hostel in a wheelchair provided by a local charity. “There is too much violence in Honduras now, from gang members, from drug cartels, from police.” ...
In the city of San Pedro Sula, Honduras Suyapa Lopez, a 37 year old single mother, described how her two sons disappeared in 2016 after they were selling bottled water and crossed from a territory controlled by the Barrio 18 gang to one controlled by the MS13 gang. She has found no trace of them since, despite repeatedly going to the police. “The police only help who they like,” she told TIME in October. “Imagine how it feels, a mother destroyed and without help from anybody. Just asking God to open the doors.” Asylum cases filed by people fleeing criminals can be difficult to win in many countries. Under refugee conventions, people are given protection if they are persecuted because they belong to a specific social group, particularly a minority religion, or if they are targeted by their government. Even when people fleeing cartels prove their life is in imminent danger, judges will deny their claims, saying it is just generalized violence....
Still, applying for asylum in Mexico has its own problems. Violence in parts of the country is as bad as in the Northern Triangle. In 2017, journalist Edwin Rivera fled threats in Honduras, only to be murdered in Veracruz, Mexico. Mexican cartels have also kidnapped Central Americans en masse, demanding ransom money from any family members in the United States. “Mexico is not a safe place for thousands of migrants and refugees that flee the violence of Central America,” the Doctors Without Borders said in a press release on Wednesday. http://time.com/5318718/central-american-refugees-crisis/

8-30-18 Salm, 14, left home after gang members threatened to kill him for refusing to join. He was in a shelter in Nicaragua for a while, but then that country sent him back. Jus, 15, fled after his father was murdered. He was deported from Guatemala. "I can't go back to where I was born," Jus says. "In any case, I don't have any family there any longer."
The Associated Press is not publishing the location of the refuge or the full names of its residents for safety reasons. Many deported families no longer have a home. They sold everything to pay for a trip north and now find themselves without shelter — and the additional burden of a debt they cannot pay.
A woman named Larissa, her husband and their two children left home after the Mara Salvatrucha gang tried to recruit her 14-year-old son; when her boy refused to join, they beat him, kicking him in the face and breaking his nose.
Years earlier, her husband was shot 14 times by gang members for failing to make an extortion payment, but survived. Three of her cousins were not so lucky. They were recruited by gangs, and all died young. https://www.foxnews.com/world/no-going-home-for-many-hondurans-deported-back-to-brutality

10-17-2018 ESQUIPULAS, GUATEMALA/WASHINGTON – The organizer of a migrant caravan from Honduras was detained in Guatemala on Tuesday as the U.S. government threatened to withdraw aid from both countries and El Salvador if the flow of migrants north to the United States was not stopped.
Up to 3,000 migrants, according to organizers’ estimates, crossed from Honduras into Guatemala on a trek northward after a standoff on Monday with police in riot gear. The Honduran Foreign Ministry called on its citizens not to join the group. The government “urges the Hondurans taking part in this irregular mobilization not to be used by a movement that is clearly political,” it said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2018/10/17/world/honduras-guatemala-move-stop-migrant-caravan-trump-threats/#.W8eCDbQ-BbU

The Danish government will demolish around 1,000 houses in the heavily migrant-populated ghetto of Vollsmose and relocate residents to new areas.
The plan was announced by Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen earlier in the year who said he wanted to combat the rise of parallel migrant societies forming in Denmark, Sveriges Radio reports.
The Vollsmose area, which is located in Denmark’s third largest city Odense, is home to around 9,000 people and has long been considered one of the worst ghettos in the country in terms of criminality and lack of integration. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2018/10/17/denmark-to-demolish-1000-homes-clear-out-migrant-populated-ghetto/
