Washington, August 17 (RHC)-- Haitian and immigrant justice advocates are denouncing the Biden administration for its ongoing deportations of Haitian asylum seekers — even after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July. 

Last week, at least two deportation flights departed from Texas to Haiti with some 130 asylum seekers, including children. 

In a statement, Guerline Jozef, co-founder of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, said: “How can the U.S. government deport anyone to Haiti right now?  How do they think so little of Haitian lives, deporting children and babies in the middle of the chaos?  This is a clear example of external violence that continues to deepen the instability in Haiti.”
