   Some 40 illegal immigrants, including both adults and children,   
   were returned to Honduras from a U.S. detention facility in New   
   Mexico on Monday, Homeland Security officials confirmed to   
   FoxNews.com.   
      
   The group had been housed at the Federal Law Enforcement   
   Training Center in Artesia, N.M., and was among thousands of   
   illegal immigrants from Central American countries, including   
   Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, apprehended at the border.   
      
   After the plane landed, U.S. officials touted the move as a step   
   in the right direction.   
      
   “As President Obama, the vice president, and (Department of   
   Homeland Security) Secretary (Jeh) Johnson have said, our border   
   is not open to illegal migration and we will send recent illegal   
   migrants back,” Homeland Security officials said in a written   
   statement.   
      
   The proverbial pat on the back for sending 40 Hondurans home   
   came as close to 82,000 illegal immigrants remain in the   
   country. Of that number, minors make up about 57,000.   
      
   Homeland Security officials said Monday’s flight was just the   
   “initial wave” of deportations. Immigration officials have seen   
   a spike in immigration in recent months as false rumors spread   
   of a June deadline under which they could legally stay in the   
   U.S.   
      
   Many of those who crossed the border said they came to America   
   looking to escape atrocities back home.   
      
   As required by law, recent border crossers subjected to   
   expedited removal are screened for “credible fear,” DHS said,   
   adding that despite quick removal proceedings, adults and   
   children “maintain important due process rights, including the   
   ability to seek asylum, appeal to an immigration judge the   
   denial of a credible fear finding, and the ability to seek legal   
   representation.”   
      
   Last week, the president of Honduras declared a humanitarian   
   emergency and announced that the country would create a   
   revolving fund to coordinate the deportation and reintegration   
   of children.   
      
   In Honduras, immigration officers review the documents of   
   deportees before they leave the plane. They are then moved to a   
   processing center where they get their “documentation, coffee,   
   hygiene kits, and their property (i.e. luggage),” ICE officials   
   said.   
      
   Representatives from the Labor Office are there to help them   
   with employment, and, in a separate office, the National   
   Registry of Persons signs them up for national identification if   
   they don’t have any.   
      
   For minors, the child welfare agency in Honduras tries to   
   connect them with family members living in the country.
