U.S. immigration policies in President Donald Trump’s second term have exacerbated a serious humanitarian crisis – stranding many people in remote, dangerous areas where aid workers are unable to reach them – according to new reporting in The New Humanitarian, with support from the Fund. A team of reporters tracked so-called “reverse migration” by people who were fleeing violence in Central and South America but turned around when U.S. policies made entry to the country difficult. The New Humanitarian tracked their route and found many pregnant women, young children and people with chronic diseases who were unable to access basic health services for months.
