Guatemala City (AFP) - Washington is redoubling efforts to disrupt irregular migration, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday at regional talks in Guatemala, as the hot-button issue looms large once again over US elections in November.

The new program started May 11 with the end of Title 42, which had allowed US authorities to return migr...
