Judicial Reset in Guatemala: Consuelo Porras’ eight-year term ended amid protests, and President Bernardo Arévalo’s pick, Gabriel Estuardo García Luna, took office as attorney general on May 17, promising to end “selective persecution” and restore dignity to the justice system—while inheriting an institution widely seen as hollowed out by years of political interference. Immigration Shockwaves (U.S.-linked, Guatemala-relevant): A Brookings report estimates over 145,000 U.S. citizen children have faced parent detention since Trump’s second term began, with Guatemala and Honduras among the biggest origin countries—fueling fresh scrutiny of enforcement practices. Cross-border Crime: In Texas, a 43-year-old Oklahoma truck driver was charged after authorities found 42 migrants hidden in a tractor-trailer and meth in the cab area. Cultural Heritage Claim: Guatemala’s cultural ministry says a Maya stone lintel repatriated to Mexico was actually from Guatemala’s Petén Basin and is seeking its return through diplomatic channels.
