U.S. Urged to Not Resume Deportations to Haiti 
-----------------------------------------------



In news from Haiti, a group of U.S.-based human rights groups and legal
organizations filed an emergency petition with the Inter-American
Commission on Human Rights to halt the roundups, detention and imminent
deportations of hundreds of Haitian nationals by the U.S. government.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has said it is resuming
deportations to Haiti this month, even though Haiti is still reeling
from last year's devastating earthquake and a cholera epidemic.
