At least 25 people, including six police officers, were killed in attacks across Honduras on May 21, 2026, Al Jazeera reported. ^[1]

The dead included 19 people who were killed when gunmen raided a palm plantation in the municipality of Trujillo in northern Honduras. ^[1]

The violence unfolded as Honduras has also been caught up in a separate, long-running saga in the United States over the termination of Temporary Protected Status for migrants from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal. ^[1] On July 9, 2025, Trump ended what was described as “temporary” amnesty for 75,000 migrants from Honduras and Nicaragua, and on February 9, 2026, the 9th Circuit Court stayed its ruling on TPS termination for 60,000 migrants. ^[1]
