A spokesman of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) declared that the 19 Haitians deported Friday, April 14, 2011, had all been recognized guilty, by the justice, to have committed at least one serious crime in the U.S. This is the second time since the beginning of the year that Haitians are expelled, the first time, on January 20 and 26 Haitians were concerned...

Washington is committed to expel for the moment only the criminals who have served their sentences. But all illegal Haitians or allowed provisionally after the earthquake, could also be affected later this year...
