We condemn the Trump administration’s decision to end TPS for Haitians, and deport the more than 50,000 Haitians who currently live in the United States with that status. These vulnerable people will be forcibly returned to a country not yet recovered from the devastating 2010 earthquake, and the massive hurricanes and cholera epidemics that followed and where the country’s political turmoil further places these refugees lives at risk. Haiti is in no condition right now to accept deportees. Attorney Steve Forester,
Immigration Policy Coordinator, with the Institute for
Justice & Democracy in Haiti and Kim Ives, journalist and co-founder of the
international weekly newspaper Haiti Liberté discuss DHS’s saying get
back and how we can fight back.
