US EditionUS directs diplomats to lobby governments against mass migration, cable says
The cable directs U.S. diplomats to report crime linked to migrants and urge host nations to reform migration policies, citing social risks and pushing a restrictive approach.
- Last week the Trump administration ordered U.S. diplomats abroad to lobby against pro-migration policies and raise concerns about migrant violent crimes, according to a State Department cable.
- Citing social impacts, the cable instructed diplomats to urge governments to protect citizens from displacement, sexual assault and breakdown of law and order linked to mass migration.
- The administration has worked to internationalize its restrictive approach by urging nations to roll back asylum protections, with top officials recently emphasizing the refugee admissions cap for fiscal 2026, which is now set at 7.
- A State Department spokesperson said mass migration was a human rights issue linked to violent crimes, but the spokesperson did not provide data to support this claim.
- Evidence counters the cable's core claim as studies show immigrants are not more likely to commit crimes, while President Donald Trump launched enforcement measures with southern border troop surges and deportation pledges.
