EXCLUSIVE: Trump admin. ignored its own evidence of climate change's impact on Central America migration
Research compiled one year ago by Customs and Border Protection pointed to an overwhelming factor driving record-setting migration to the U.S. from Guatemala: Crop shortages were leaving rural Guatemalans, especially in the country's western highlands, in extreme poverty and starving. But that message was apparently ignored, with the Trump administration instead focusing on an agreement to stop immigrants via law enforcement, rather than the root causes of the migration.

"Everyone knows Miller isn't interested in hearing about climate change," one DHS official said, referring to Stephen Miller, the senior adviser leading immigration policy.
