Last week after observing deportations to Guatemala ramp up almost 2x I hypothesized that they may accepting more if deportees had either certificates of recovery from Covid or a negative test. I may have been right. @WitnessBorder es.noticias.yahoo.com/guatemala-reci…

Since August 27 the number of detainees in isolation or monitoring dropped from 850 to 468 which I thought might connect to the increased deportation flights. Server all days if flights also saw decreases in I & M #s

Requirement by Guatemala, or coincidence? Have been trying to confirm with ICE for over a week. Waiting............still waiting.

Here is the weekly flight of the week of 8/22 in which I raised the possibility with more detail. witnessattheborder.org/posts/82220
