Reported: Trump administration drafts plans to use foreign-assistance funds to repatriate migrants from active conflict zones

    The Washington Post reports that the Trump administration has drafted plans to use $250 million in Department of State (DOS) Migration and Refugee Assistance (MRA) funds for the voluntary repatriation of migrants from active conflict zones. MRA funding has traditionally been for refugee resettlement in the United States as well as efforts to help people return to their home nations once deemed safe. The documents mention Ukrainians, Haitians, Afghans, Palestinians, Libyans, Sudanese, Syrians, and Yemenis as migrants who could be targeted as part of the voluntary-deportation program.

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called these documents “outdated,” but recently signed an agreement with DOS detailing the same processes.
