U.S. Resumes Deportations to Haiti

HeadlineApr 07, 2011

The U.S. government has begun deportations to Haiti after a two-month freeze. The deportations initially resumed in January, one year after they were halted in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake. But the freeze was re-imposed after a Haitian national died of cholera-like symptoms just weeks after he was deported, and several other deportees also fell ill upon their return to Haiti. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says it has issued revised guidelines to focus on Haitians convicted of violent crimes and who are repeat offenders. But critics say the first wave of deportees will mostly have already served their prison sentences without further incident.
