EXCLUSIVE-UN migration body asks Brazil to receive Haitians on US-Mexico border - sources

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has formally asked Brazil whether it would receive some Haitians camped along the U.S.-Mexico border hoping to enter the United States, according to two sources with knowledge of the request.

Brazil's foreign ministry said in a statement that "the topic was discussed in conversations between authorities from different countries and is being analyzed in light of current legislation." It did not mention the request from the IOM, the United Nations migration agency. (Writing by Gabriel Stargardter)
