1 week agoReturning to Guatemala in a cardboard box after a migrant life in the United States
At 11:10 p.m. on an unusually freezing night in late January, the last commercial flight from Houston, Texas, landed at La Aurora Airport in Guatemala City. Passengers and their luggage were immediately unloaded. Just when it seemed everyone had left, the cargo hold door opened and airline staff pulled out two white cardboard boxes. Inside, two coffins. Julio Gonzalez, 59, import supervisor at Combex-IM, the airport's customs warehouse, oversaw his team's respectful transfer of the remains in a small forklift to a chapel illuminated by a cross.
