Honduras has detained five Syrians who were apparently on their way to the Unites States with stolen Greek passports, government officials announced on Wednesday.

Reuters reports the five Syrian nationals who are being held do not appear to show signs of any connection to last week's terror attacks in Paris.

The group of Syrian men were detained on Tuesday in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa at Toncontín international airport.

Authorities say their passports had been doctored to replace the original photographs with those of the Syrians.

According to La Tribuna, airport authorities of Honduras confirmed the arrests on Wednesday. Santos Nolasco, a spokesman for the national inter-agency security force, added that over the weekend a person of Syrian origin was stopped with a false passport.

Honduran police spokesman Anibal Baca said that the detained men appeared to be normal Syrians but they planned to travel to the city of San Pedro Sula from where they would travel overland to the U.S.

Baca added that the men traveled on different flights to Honduras, according to El Heraldo. After summoning officials from the Greek embassy, it was determined that the men did not know any Greek. 

The Latin American nation of Honduras has been, since 1967, a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Status of Refugees. This means that Honduras must, according to international law, accept Syrian refugees.

Outside of the current Syrian migrant crisis, Honduras is facing troubles with hundreds of Cuban refugees who have come through their land on their way to try to get to the U.S.

Cuban refugees carrying legal Costa Rican visas are being banned from moving through Honduras by the Honduran military. Reportedly, tear gas and water cannons have been used to push back the refugees from trying to get through.

The Honduran government is an ally of the Cuban government, and may have a vested interest in keeping Cuban refugees from reaching the U.S.

The migrant crisis coming from a war-torn Syria has become the most polarizing issue affecting global politics these days.

As The Tennessean reports, House GOP Caucus Chairman, Glen Casada, has suggested that the Tennessee National Guard look for Syrian refugees in the state and gather them up for removal.

"We need to activate the Tennessee National Guard and stop them from coming in to the state by whatever means we can," he said.
