Miami, April 20 (RHC)-- The U.S. has deported over 70 Haitian asylum seekers despite a spiraling security and humanitarian crisis in Haiti.  Immigration rights advocates have been demanding the Biden administration halt all deportation flights to Haiti. 

The Haitian Bridge Alliance said in a statement: “Deportations to Haiti are intentional violence and blatant anti-Black discrimination. The hypocrisy by the Biden-Harris administration must cease.”

Earlier this week, Haitian officials named the members of a transitional council that will take power after Prime Minister Ariel Henry steps down.  The council, made up of voting members and nonvoting observers, will choose a new prime minister and wield certain presidential powers by majority vote.  Members of the council include a former employee of the World Bank.  Its mandate expires in February 2026.
