Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”)
yanks Temporary Protective Status (“TPS”) from Haitians –
more than 50,000 face deportation!
featuring
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
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.
