    Despite US aid freeze, UN migration agency fires several

    Published on

    The United Nations agency, which at the end of last year employed around 22,000 people, has already laid off thousands.

    It has also been accused of allowing its assisted voluntary return programme to be used to blue wash or give a UN stamp of approval to Trump’s mass deportation scheme.

    Recall that the UN agency announced on February 1 that it was scaling up its efforts across Latin America and the Caribbean to help migrants return home, reintegrate and rebuild their lives.

    It said it had resumed its assisted voluntary return programmes in Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras, as well as Panama, which with Costa Rica has reached an agreement to take in migrants from other countries deported by the United States.

    Thousands have already been let go by the United Nations agency, which had about 22,000 employees at the end of last year.

    It has also been charged with permitting Trump’s huge deportation plan to be bluewashed or given UN permission through its assisted voluntary return program.

    Recall that on February 1, the United Nations agency declared that it was expanding its activities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean to assist migrants in rebuilding their lives, reintegrating, and returning home.

    In addition to Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras, it announced that it has restarted its assisted voluntary return programs in Panama, which has an agreement with Costa Rica to accept migrants from other nations that the United States has deported.
