A group of Democrats led by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler declared President Trump’s safe third-country agreement with Guatemala is illegal because the Central American nation does not meet the conditions for determining asylum.

“Once again the president is attempting to illegally circumvent our immigration laws in his all-out effort to stop asylum seekers from coming to the United States, going so far as to bully a foreign country with threats of tariffs and visa bans to force the agreement,” Nadler of New York and fellow Democrats said Monday. “Guatemala’s immigration laws and infrastructure are woefully inadequate and unable to meet the needs of migrants coming from other countries in Central America.”
