US diplomats ordered to raise concerns over migrant populations

WASHINGTON: The Trump administration last week ordered US diplomats abroad to lobby against pro-migration policies and raise concerns over what it says are migrant populations committing violent crimes, according to a State Department cable seen by Reuters. The cable, sent on Friday to dozens of US embassies across Europe, Canada and Australia, argues that crime and human rights abuses linked to mass migration and “individuals of a migration background” were a significant concern in Europe and the West. It says these incidents threaten public safety and social cohesion around the world.
