migrants

Migrants are individuals who move from one country or region to another, either temporarily or permanently, often in search of better economic opportunities, safety, or to escape conflict or persecution.

Why it’s in the news: Migrants are in the news due to large-scale returns from host countries, rising anti-immigrant sentiment, and policy changes affecting their legal status and access to social services.
