An Indian laborer in Israel was killed and several other migrant workers injured on March 4, 2024, in a missile attack launched from Lebanon by Hamas-aligned Hezbollah.

Dozens of other farmworkers, agricultural apprentices and caregivers from countries including Thailand, Nepal, Tanzania, Cambodia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Moldova were murdered or taken hostage during the Hamas attack of Oct. 7. The sizable number of non-Israeli workers affected by the current war has surprised some onlookers while shining a light on Israel’s reliance on temporary migrant workers. But as researchers who study the proliferation of migrant workers around the world, we know how labor migration programs have transformed nearly all societies, including Israel’s. The long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict has shaped Israel’s migrant worker history – and has contributed to the globalization of the...

Biden administration officials said Monday that the numbers of migrants making unauthorized border crossings over the weekend continued to be significantly lower than expected but they were not ready to declare their plan a success just yet. "I think it's -- it's still too early to draw firm conclusions," Assistant Secretary for B order and Immigration Policy Blas Nuñez-Neto said in response to questions about the decline seen since last Thursday when the pandemic-era policy that allowed migrant s to be quickly expelled ended. "We are closely watching what's happening. We are confident that, you know, the plan that we have developed across the U.S. government to address these flows will work over time," he told reporters on Monday.

The Biden administration and the ACLU have reached a settlement that would provide relief for migrant families separated from their kids under the Trump administration The Biden administration and the American Civil Liberties Union have reached a proposed settlement agreement that, if approved, would provide benefits for thousands of migrant families separated under the Trump administration's controversial "zero tolerance" policy to deter illegal southern border crossings.

The settlement would also provide continued support services for those who were separated from their families when Trump was president, including covering the cost of ...

Crises across the Western Hemisphere continue to fuel the record migration to the U.S. MEXICO CITY -- The Biden administration is preparing for the end of Title 42 amid growing concerns about a sharp rise in migration that may overwhelm immigration authorities.  The Title 42 order has been used since the Trump administration and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to immediately expel almost all migrants citing public health concerns -- even if those people attempt to claim asylum, as is allowed under U.S. and international law. President Joe Biden's Republican critics in Congress say his immigration policy has sparked the historic number of apprehensions at the southern border, while the White House says it's Republicans that have failed to work with the administration to reform immigration laws. What's clear is that far from Washington, crises across the Western Hemisphere are fueling the record migration to the U.S. In particular, data from U.S. Customs and Border Prote...

Gov. Ron DeSantis has activated the Florida National Guard amid the increase of migrant landings on the Florida Keys. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order Friday activating the Florida National Guard and directing state law enforcement agencies to help local governments dealing with an increase of migrant s landing in the Florida Keys.

"That is why I am activating the National Guard and directing state resources to help alleviate the strain on local resources. When Biden continues to ignore his legal responsibilities, we will step in to support our comm...

The Department of Homeland Security expects an increase in migration with the rollback of Title 42. The Department of Homeland Security expects an increase in migration with the rollback of Title 42, according to a DHS Intelligence and Analysis bulletin obtained by ABC News. Title 42 is the Trump era policy, continued by the Biden administration, which expels migrants under the auspices of the pandemic.
