In a statement on Monday, the UN agency said it is supporting Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR) \u2013 not deportation \u2013 for those who decide to leave the US.<\/p>\n<p>At the request of the US Government, IOM is helping people who register to go back to their countries of origin voluntarily. \u201cAVR is a well-established, rights-based approach that helps migrants navigate complex global migration systems, regain control over their lives, and make informed choices,\u201d the agency said. \u201cOur role is to ensure that those who lack the means to return on their own can do so in a safe, dignified, and informed way,\u201d IOM added.<\/p>\n<p>The agency made it clear that the US determines its own policies on migration. \u201cIOM does not facilitate or implement deportations. Our involvement begins only after an individual gives informed consent to receive assistance.\u201d In these instances, \u201cIOM ensures that people have access to accurate information and essential services, in line with international standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes as the US seeks to expand deportation of undocumented migrants in continuation of a policy President Donald Trump began nearly 10 years ago under his first administration. He returned to office in January for a second term and has been cracking down on illegal immigration through raids, detentions and deportations. In a video posted to social media on Friday, President Trump said that he had signed an Executive Order \u201cto launch the first-ever self-deportation programme for illegal aliens,\u201d offering free flights from the US and payment of an \u201cexit bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IOM was established in 1951 and promotes humane and orderly migration. For decades the agency has supported AVR programmes in more than 100 countries, \u201chelping people without resources, legal options, or support return to their countries of origin safely and with dignity,\u201d it said. IOM noted that in the US, \u201cmany migrants face a challenging reality \u2013 navigating complex systems with limited options and resources,\u201d and \u201cthis initiative provides support to those who choose to return, helping them make a life-changing decision with care and clarity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2025\/05\/1163141\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/157744\/\">UN migration agency helping migrants in the US return home voluntarily<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[555,15793,655],"class_list":["post-139951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-csr-news-en","tag-un-migration-agency","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139951\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
