According to @RepWilson who is currently speaking on a virtual congressional briefing "U.S. Deportations and Expulsions During COVID19," since March 13th ICE has sent 127 deportation flights to Latin America and the Caribbean. Eight of these have been to Haiti.
@RepWilson Haiti, a country with a population of 11 million, currently has 124 ICU beds with even less ventilators.

With those numbers alone, you don’t even have to know about Haiti’s current situation to recognize that a #covid19 crisis would collapse Haiti’s health system.
@RepWilson The incredible @GuerlineMJozef of @HaitianBridge breaks it down even further, “Understand that in the midst of the fight for Black lives - today, this morning, the U.S. government deported 35 Haitians back to Haiti including families who came to ask for asylum . .
@GuerlineMJozef @HaitianBridge ". . . including young children from the ages of 10 months old to 11 years old being packed with people that they (ICE) know have tested positive for Covid19. I want to make sure people understand what we are allowing our administration to do right now . . "
@GuerlineMJozef @HaitianBridge “ . . . that while we fight for Black lives here in the state, the system continues to abuse and destroy lives of Black migrants by deporting people.”
