Trump officials closing immigration offices Biden set up in Latin America
CBSN
Washington — The Trump administration is shutting down processing offices in Latin America that the Biden administration set up to give migrants legal immigration options and dissuade them from crossing the southern border illegally, according to internal government documents obtained by CBS News.
The offices, established in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Guatemala, had allowed certain migrants living in or passing through those countries to apply for programs that would allow them to enter the U.S. legally.
The internal State Department documents said the Trump administration is ceasing operations at those locations, known as "Safe Mobility Initiative" offices, as part of a "broader effort to assess how the United States manages migration processes to serve U.S. national interests."
