Another Deportation Flight Leaves the U.S. for Haiti Despite "Grave Dangers"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the U.S., immigrant rights groups continue to demand the Biden
administration immediately halt deportations to Haiti and enact
protections for Haitian migrants as the island nation faces a worsening
humanitarian crisis, deepening gang violence and political instability.
Advocates said Thursday another group of Haitian asylum seekers had been
deported - the second deportation flight since April. The Haitian Bridge
Alliance said the "deeply troubling policy … places vulnerable
individuals in grave danger."
