US EditionAfrica: UN Migration Agency Helping Migrants in the Us Return Home Voluntarily
- The United States has sought IOM's support to assist undocumented migrants who voluntarily opt to go back to their countries of origin, according to a statement issued on Monday.
- This request follows US policies expanding deportations under President Trump’s second term, continuing a crackdown started nearly ten years ago involving raids, detentions, and removals.
- IOM, established in 1951, promotes humane migration and has long supported Assisted Voluntary Return programs to help migrants without resources navigate complex migration systems safely and with dignity.
- President Trump posted that his Executive Order launches the first-ever self-deportation program offering free flights and an exit bonus, while IOM clarified it does not facilitate deportations but supports informed, voluntary returns.
- This program offers guidance and support to individuals opting to go back to their home countries, helping them make thoughtful decisions and ensuring their travel is safe and respectful.
