Rights groups urge Joe Biden to freeze deportations of Haitian migrants after assassination of President Jovenel Moise.
Washington, DC – A plane carrying dozens of Haitian migrants expelled from the United States under a contentious public health rule landed in Port-au-Prince on July 6. It was the 35th such deportation flight since US President Joe Biden took office, sending an estimated 2,000 Haitian asylum seekers, including families, pregnant women and children, back to the rampant gang violence and systemic poverty from which they fled. Less than 24 hours later, armed gunmen stormed President Jovenel Moise’s home in the Haitian capital, killing him and injuring his wife, and sending shockwaves across the Caribbean nation and around the world.
