Last update: 9 hours ago

Guatemala in the U.S. spotlight: A Guatemalan man, Enrique Lopez-Mejia, was sentenced to 24 months after assaulting and resisting an ICE officer in Grand Rapids, with authorities saying he’s been removed to Guatemala multiple times before. Immigration enforcement and families: Another Guatemalan man, Moses Leon, recorded a crash while fleeing ICE in North Carolina and was detained afterward, raising fresh questions about how enforcement intersects with everyday life. Public health with regional impact: WHO reports measles cases are surging across the Americas, noting deaths largely in Guatemala and Mexico—an urgent reminder for vaccination and rapid response. Culture & community: In Baltimore, Nuestras Raices Casa de la Cultura marked its fourth anniversary with an art exhibit celebrating Latino heritage, including artists from Guatemala. Maya heritage abroad: Mundo Maya Day returned to Los Angeles’ MacArthur Park with Maya ceremony, food, marimba, and dances from Guatemala and other regions. Environment & resilience: Guatemala’s Fuego volcano eruption continues to force evacuations, with authorities issuing alerts as ash and mud threaten nearby communities.
