A record number of U.S.-bound migrants stranded in Mexico are seeking assistance to return to their home countries, coinciding with President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, according to an in-depth report by Reuters based on data from the United Nations' International Organization for Migration (IOM)
The organization revealed that in January and February, 2,862 migrants applied for the IOM's assisted voluntary return program, more than three times the number recorded during the same period last year.
