Hundreds of rights groups and immigration organizations are urging the US government to stop deporting Haitians and to expand protections for them as a gang conflict escalates in Haiti. Haitians in Houston are pleading for support amid ongoing violence and chaos back home. Lawmakers are pressuring President Biden to take action, including a moratorium on deportations to Haiti and the redesignation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians. The situation in Haiti is described as heartbreaking, with concerns raised about the safety of Haitian migrants and the future of the country, particularly its children.
The Biden Administration has recognized the deteriorating situation in Ethiopia, declaring it a national emergency. @SecMayorkas, it's crucial to extend & redesignate Temporary Protected Status for Ethiopians. #TPS4Ethiopia https://t.co/VOcGgkG25l https://t.co/zqnzuB8lfQ
117 orgs have signed on to a letter calling on @SecMayorkas to extend & redesignate #TPS4Ethiopia. The ongoing armed conflict, persistence of violence, & food insecurity that civilians face, make the safe return of Ethiopian nationals impossible. https://t.co/VOcGgkG25l https://t.co/OE2MngRtUP
The violence gripping Haiti is heartbreaking. It's vital that the U.S. redesignates Haiti for Temporary Protected Status for folks who are unable to return safely to their home country and halt all deportations to Haiti until conditions improve. https://t.co/1MnqlEJt35
