Haiti - FLASH : The United States suspends deportation flights of Haitians
The United States suspended deportation flights to Haiti on Friday, February 5, 2021, a sign that Joe Biden's administration is trying to assert its control over the Immigration and border control agency of the Department of Homeland Security (ICE Immigration and Customs Enforcement) whose recent deportations violated its guidelines which stipulate that only suspected terrorists and convicted felons who pose a danger to the public may be deported from the United States.

Recall that when he came to power, President Joe Biden ordered a 100-day moratorium on deportation, while the system and procedures for the removal of migrants and asylum seekers were subject to review. But on January 26, a Texas judge (appointed by Trump) suspended the application of this moratorium and the ICE had resumed deportations to Africa, Haiti and Central America.

In addition, let us recall that in recent days, the American authorities have also returned on foot Haitians arrived by Mexico, from El Paso (Texas), to the border town of Ciudad Juarez, in violation of an agreement of the administration Trump with the Mexican government who had accepted the return of the Guatemalans, Hondurans and Salvadorans who crossed its territory but not the Haitians.
