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.
