U.S. Rejects U.N. Migration Deal Backed by 164 Countries
--------------------------------------------------------

In Morocco, 164 countries have agreed to a nonbinding U.N.-sponsored
deal that seeks to better respond to migration at the global level,
particularly for refugees and other vulnerable populations. The United
States, along with a handful of other countries, rejected the deal.
According to U.N. numbers, there have been over 3,300 deaths or
disappearances during international migrations so far this year.
