Returning Home: The Challenges and Opportunities Faced by Returned Migrants in the Northern Triangle of Central America
In 2016, over 216,000 migrants returned to the Northern Triangle of Central America (NTCA) from Mexico and the United States. Sixteen percent of these returning migrants were children.
