Honduras Reinstates
Top Immigration Official, A Day After Firing
Him
TEGUCIGALPA - Honduras' new government has
reinstated its top immigration official, 24
hours after firing him, citing "a
misunderstanding and a mistake."
Nelson Willy Mejia, the head of Honduras'
immigration agency, was dismissed Friday
after a Brazilian diplomat was denied entry
into the country.
The interior and justice minister, Africo
Madrid, said the Brazilian diplomat arrived
on a flight from Miami but was denied entry
and put on another flight back to the United
States. Madrid said the immigration agency
apparently acted on orders left over from
the administration of interim President
Roberto Micheletti, who left office
Wednesday when President Porfirio Lobo was
inaugurated.
Mejia was reinstated Saturday.
