VOICED : ONU advierte que plan migratorio de EEUU amenaza con socavar los derechos humanos

The UN has raised concerns about the new US migration plan, which allows up to 30,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter monthly, provided they have a financial sponsor and arrive by plane. The UN warns this could lead to collective expulsions and violate the principle of non-refoulement. While the creation of safe migration pathways is welcomed, the eligibility criteria are seen as restrictive. In November, migrant detentions at the US-Mexico border hit a record 230,000, highlighting the dangers faced by those fleeing poverty and violence.
