Trump Administration Withdraws U.S. from Global Migration Compact
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The travel ban came as the Trump administration said it has withdrawn
the U.S. from the United Nations Global Compact on Migration. Over the
weekend, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley said that President
Trump will no longer commit to the deal, in which countries pledge to
uphold the rights of refugees, help migrants resettle, and ensure they
have access to jobs and education.
