Administration re calls Mizner and names successor
The article discusses the U.S. move to recall Mizner from Guatemala and appoint a successor, casting strong doubt on Mizner’s actions in the Barrundia killing. It defends asylum for political refugees under the U.S. flag and condemns local diplomacy that would deny protection abroad.
