Take Action! Haitian Refugees Deportations Resumed in Mist of Hurricane Matthew



Immigrant Youth Coalition (IYC)
Dear Chris,

Deportations under Obama Administration continue for the most vulnerable!



In the last 10 months, at least 3,508 Haitians have crossed through ports of entry in San Ysidro, Otay Mesa, Tecate, Calexico East and West and Andrade, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). More than 7,000 Haitian refugees are expected to cross Southern California borders and seek refuge in San Diego in the coming months. Due to Hurricane Matthew the US took the decision to halt deportations temporally.

Early this month the Obama administration resumed deportations about 2,700 Haitians detained and refused to grant them any relief!

Join IYC and Human Rights Alliance for Child Refugees & Families for a week of action in support of Haitian refugees and demand a stop to deportations!
