ICE is racing to deport Black people to Haiti as fast as they possibly can. And they're not letting ANYTHING get in their way.
A thread:
You might think that if you aren't *from* Haiti, aren't a Haitian citizen, and HAVE NEVER BEEN TO HAITI IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, that would probably stop ICE from deporting you to Haiti.
Paul Pierrilus thought that too. But last month, ICE proved him wrong.
What if you suffered horrific violence in Haiti *and* you fled to the U.S. with your baby *and* the Biden admin KNEW deporting you to Haiti could put you in danger?
You guessed it, doesn't matter.
Now Marie's in hiding so she doesn't get murdered.
Then he let ICE go right back to what they were doing: dumping terrified people in a dangerous country as they plead for their lives at the airport, like the man in this picture.
There's no law or judge requiring Biden's administration to keep deporting people to Haiti. They could stop the flights TODAY, if it was a priority.
So we have to make it a priority.
Please share the info in this thread, and follow @HaitianBridge.
@HaitianBridge There must be an explanation though, right? Surely the Biden administration wouldn’t deport thousands of people into danger for no reason.
Well, here’s their justification:
“We’re deporting people to Haiti because we're not allowed to expel them into Mexico."
Unbelievable.

On January 8th, her dad William left their LA apartment for what he thought was a normal day: working one of his 3 jobs, returning home to be with his wife & daughter, and caring for his disabled mother.
But he never made it home.
ICE was waiting for him.
William came to Los Angeles in 1977 as a fifteen year old boy.
He was fleeing El Salvador, which was descending into civil war. He was reuniting with his mother, a U.S. citizen.
He's lived in LA for 44 years; it's his home, it's his family, it's his life.
ICE wanted him gone.
With her dad in ICE detention, Valerie was completely distraught. She couldn't imagine life without him, for herself or her family. It would be the end of the world as she knew it.
Congress should immediately begin impeachment proceedings upon return. The constitution allows for impeachment of former officers. The only real consequence for his actions will be if he is disqualified from holding future office.
2⃣The other participants in the failed coup must be expelled.
Our representatives must support the introduction of @CoriBush's resolution to expel members of congress that backed the failed coup.
