The Trump administration is considering a plan to use up to $250 million in foreign aid funds to facilitate the voluntary deportation of migrants from active conflict zones, including approximately 700,000 Ukrainians and Haitians who have fled to the U.S., according to draft internal documents reviewed by The Washington Post.
The proposal includes a financial incentive of $1,000 for each migrant who agrees to self-deport. The plan targets migrants from various conflict zones such as Ukraine, Haiti, Afghanistan, Palestine, Libya, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.
The initiative aims to bypass the United Nations, which does not support the return of migrants to these countries due to safety concerns. The Trump administration's approach is part of a broader effort to reduce foreign aid and terminate most global programs of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
During Joe Biden's presidency, Ukrainians and Haitians were granted temporary protection, allowing them to stay in the U.S. However, the Trump administration's plan could affect over 200,000 Ukrainians and 500,000 Haitians currently in the country. This plan is supported by a nearly $3 billion 'America First Opportunity Fund' at the State Department, under the purview of Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, the health secretary's daughter-in-law.
