It’s because the word migrant makes no assumption on their intention. We only know they were migrating. We have no idea if they are immigrating or returning, or visiting temporarily. It’s not politically correct, it’s literally correct.
I am a college-educated liberal. On behalf of all our kind, I hereby officially grant news outlets and “other people” lifetime permission to use the word “immigrant” whenever someone is immigrating, e.g. because they have said they are doing so.
I did my own research and found nothing along the lines of what you’re saying, sorry. Unless you provide a news article source we have literally no idea what you’re talking about and none of us are convinced of what you’re saying.

News outlets will use migrant even if we know they are immigrants.
Sorry, you’re incorrect.
