CODEPINK Congress: Haitian Refugees: Biden, Do Better!
Channel: CODEPINK
Date: 2021-10-06

Join CODEPINK Congress as we urge the Biden administration to suspend the use of Title 42 and allow Haitian refugees to apply for political asylum.

The Biden administration continues to deport thousands of Haitian refugees fleeing political collapse, street violence, and earthquake disruption. While the White House denies Haitians the right to asylum, up to 14,000 Haitian refugees are facing a humanitarian crisis - recently, U.S. envoy to Haiti Daniel Foote resigned on the basis of the “inhumane” mass deportations. Under Biden, the Department of Homeland Security has continued to rely on obscure public health law Title 42 to deny Haitians entry into the United States because of the COVID pandemic.
