"Urgent Calls for Biden Administration to Change Treatment of Haitian Migrants Amid Escalating Crisis"

The Biden administration is facing pressure from human rights organizations to change its treatment of Haitian migrants, but there are no plans to do so. More than 480 human rights organizations have asked for a moratorium on deportations to Haiti and the immediate release of detained Haitian migrants. The administration has not deported Haitian migrants back to their home country by plane since the violence began, but it has continued sending migrants who are interdicted at sea back to Haiti by boat. The administration is not considering granting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to an additional group of undocumented Haitians, despite the current crisis.
