No going home for many Hondurans deported back to brutality
Updated 2:53 pm CDT, Thursday, August 30, 2018
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — They cannot go home again.
For many Honduran deportees, home means a return to the brutality that sent them fleeing north in the first place.
In the neighborhoods where they grew up, corpses are dumped unceremoniously at construction sites, and carted off in body bags like loads of potatoes. Heavily armed police patrol from the back of pickup trucks, stopping to frisk pedestrians for weapons, drugs or other signs they belong to gangs.
At home, a grieving woman with a household broom tries to wash rivers of blood from the alleyway where her kin was slain.
