Immigration from Central America stemming from economic and political instability has been a long-standing issue for the United States. With the recent increase in activities of drug gangs in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, the number of migrants leaving these countries for the United States has grown.

According to statistics released by the US Department of Homeland Security on December 19, there have been almost 600,000 deportations from the United States this year, despite a slowing down in migration from Central America since 2013.
