UN Agency Collaborates with Trump Administration to Assist Migrants Choosing Voluntary Return

In a surprising turn of events, the Trump administration has partnered with the United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM) to assist migrants in the U.S. who choose to return to their countries of origin voluntarily. The collaboration reflects a shift toward encouraging what the White House terms “self-deportation,” offering incentives such as a $1,000 cash payment and potential eligibility for legal reentry in the future. The IOM clarified its role, emphasizing it only becomes involved once individuals consent to leave and does not participate in enforcement or deportation.
