There is a “looming refugee crisis” in the Americas as women and children from Central America and Mexico say they are fleeing regional violence, the United Nations Refugee Agency cautioned Wednesday.
While the vast majority of the tens of thousands of women and children from Central America who have been apprehended illegally entering the U.S. have been allowed to remain—both illegally and legally—the UN says the nations of the Americas must do more.
“The violence being perpetrated by organized, transnational criminal groups in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and certain parts of Mexico has become pervasive,” UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres warned Wednesday.
