Amid escalating gang conflict in Haiti, over 480 immigration and human rights organizations have urged the US government to halt deportations of Haitians and provide migration protections. Haitians in Houston seek support as violence and chaos persist. The situation in Haiti has led to growing desperation among people, including Americans, to flee the island. Calls have been made for a moratorium on deportations to Haiti, release of detained Haitian migrants, closure of pending deportation cases, and a new Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation. Lawmakers emphasize the need for TPS for Haiti and halting all deportations until conditions improve. The crisis in Haiti has also impacted children, raising concerns about the country's future.
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
