The US Embassy in Honduras has warned of an increase in the demand for Honduran "coyotes" to smuggle people into the United States, a sign that Donald Trump's electoral victory is already influencing the region's criminal dynamics.
The embassy cited recent reports of coyotes "using the results of United States presidential election as a ruse to lure Hondurans into giving them money to travel illegally to the United States."
