The "Assisted Voluntary Return" program has paid for buses or flights for 2,170 migrants who either never reached the United States or were detained after crossing the border and then sent to Mexico to await U.S. immigration hearings, according to Christopher Gascon, an official with the U.N

- More than 2,000 Central American migrants seeking to settle in the United States have given up and accepted free rides home under a 10-month-old program funded by the U.S. government and run by a United Nations agency, according to a U.N. official.

Gascon, head of the IOM's Mexico mission, said the program provides a safer and more humane means of return than the migrants could arrange on their own. Migrant advocates are particularly concerned about 347 people returned by the IOM who had been stuck in Mexico under a controversial Trump administration policy known as the Migrant Protection Protocols .

She said she and her 7-year-old son had fled her hometown and a good job at a shrimp packing company after gang members threatened to kill her if she did not deal drugs to fellow employees. She had hoped to apply for U.S. asylum.

Thousands of Central American migrants take free rides home courtesy of U.S. governmentMore than 2,000 Central American migrants seeking to settle in the United States... Free rides home is an interesting way of putting it. No due process?😏 It’s better for the American taxpayer a ride back home than a full ride here in America to support these people for 20- 25 years. !!

Newt Gingrich says slavery needs to be put 'in context', calls 1619 project a 'lie'"There were several hundred thousand white Americans who died in the Civil War in order to free the slaves," Gingrich argued. Could someone do a story to explain who cares what Newt thinks about slavery, and why that’s news? So, now Newt Gingrich is founding a 'Slavery' denial movement. Will it be similar to the Holocaust Denial one? One can't argue the point...forget slavery...it's gone! None is owed to none.
