Haiti
Haitians at the southern border were tortured last year, according to a report that urges the U.S. immigration system to confront its “systemic anti-Black racism."
The Biden administration’s special envoy to Haiti has abruptly resigned over the “inhumane” treatment of Haitian migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The eruption in violence comes amid the power vacuum following the July 7 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.
The strike has shut down public and private health institutions in Haiti's capital and beyond. Only emergency rooms are still accepting patients.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
A religious group based in Ohio has announced that a violent gang in Haiti has released three more hostages, while another 12 remain abducted.
The abducted members who were taken hostage in October are "in good spirits and being cared for," Christian Aid Ministries announced Sunday.
“It’s not fair to treat people like I was treated,” said one Haitian woman who was deported from Del, Rio Texas. “I’m not a criminal.”
Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries said the kidnapped group consisted of 16 U.S. citizens and one Canadian.
A Biden administration national security advisor made the remarks during a two-day trip after images of Haitian migrants went viral.
A complaint requests that potential witnesses to Border Patrol abuses be allowed to remain in the U.S. while their asylum claims are investigated.
