ICE Sets Policy to Deport Haitians During Humanitarian Crisis http://www.ccrjustice.org/newsroom/press-releases/ice-formalizes-policy-deport-haitians-during-humanitarian-crisis

Yesterday, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security announced its intent to continue deporting Haitian nationals. In response, the Center for Constitutional Rights, University of Miami School of Law Human Rights Clinic and Immigration Clinic, and Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center issued the following statement:ICE’s recent decision to resume deportations of Haitian nationals amounts to a death sentence. Resuming deportations at this time is inhumane and incompatible with basic human rights norms. ICE should immediately revoke its policy and take seriously the grave concerns expressed last month by hundreds of people in the U.S. about its decision to resume deportations. We have learned of hunger strikes in Louisiana detention facilities as a result of the policy posting.
