This Senate resolution asks the Secretary of State to send Congress, within 30 days of adoption, a statement on Guatemala's human rights practices under section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The statement should cover credible information on alleged rights violations by Guatemala's government, including arrests, detention, torture, disappearances, killings, and trafficking, with attention to non-Guatemalan people the United States has removed to Guatemala. It should also describe steps the U.S. government has taken to promote human rights there and to assess how removed people would be treated. It requests information on U.S. security assistance, detention conditions, agreements and payments with Guatemala, people sent to Guatemala in 2025 and 2026, and meetings between officials of the two governments.
