Many International Organization for Migration staff lost their jobs because of President Donald Trump’s funding freeze that began when he took office in January. IOM continues to have 22,000 staff but now employees report their employer supports anti-migration actions requested by Washington.
IOM chief Amy Pope explained her team must take harsh employee decisions because they lack funds to cover salaries without receiving payment for their work. The US Refugee Admissions Program suspension shows the heavy effect of the 40% financial contribution the US makes to IOM. An internal note shows the headquarters team at Geneva must downsize and may have to eliminate one-third of their 550 staff.
People criticize the agency for promoting its voluntary return program in Latin America and the Caribbean starting in February. Observers say the UN supports Trump’s deportation plan through its efforts but IOM maintains its services help save migrants who need emergency assistance.
