14,000 US-Bound Migrants Have Turned South Since US Border Changes, UN Says
The Trump administration's strict border enforcement led to a 97% drop in northward migration and the reversal of over 14,000 mostly Venezuelan migrants, according to a UN-backed report.
- A United Nations-supported report indicates that upwards of 14,000 migrants, primarily Venezuelans, have turned back and headed south after President Donald Trump implemented tougher border enforcement measures in 2025.
- This reverse flow migration followed Trump's executive orders on his first day back, which included a national emergency declaration, wall construction, and designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
- The phenomenon mainly involves Venezuelan migrants, who fled their country's ongoing political and economic crisis, with 97% of interviewed returnees being Venezuelan and about half planning to return home.
- Border Patrol apprehensions hit a record low of 4,399 in July 2025, reflecting a 97% drop in north-bound migration, while zero migrants were released at the border for the third consecutive month.
- The report warns that reverse migrants face exploitation and violence from criminal groups along return routes, prompting UN representatives to urge governments to provide aid and prevent trafficking.
