According to The Washington Post, the Trump administration devised a controversial humanitarian initiative: redirecting up to \$250 million in international aid—not to support conflict zones, but to fund the return of migrants to them.
Among those affected are 200,000 Ukrainians and 500,000 Haitians who fled violence, only to be offered a \$1,000 incentive to “voluntarily” return to their home countries.
It’s a stark redefinition of compassion—using aid dollars to underwrite deportations.
