FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER
========================
John, Over the weekend, the Department of Homeland Security deported three flights full of Haitian children and families back to danger. Today, we’re seeing horrific images of border patrol agents on horseback terrorizing children and families.
We are supporting our partner on the ground in Del Río and are mobilizing people to demand the administration treat people with compassion and stop deportation flights immediately.
It's demoralizing to know that the administration we trusted to fix things is making the worst possible decisions for families in need of help. We cannot continue sending babies, as young as 2-months-old, back to a life of poverty, chaos, and even death -- there is another way and that’s to lead with our values .
We need to take action now: demand the Biden Administration HALT all deportations to Haiti.

John, over 10,000 Haitian migrants seeking safety from political turmoil and the aftermath of a devastating earthquake are trapped in makeshift encampments in Del Rio, Texas as they wait to claim asylum. At the same time, the Biden administration completed its 37th deportation flight back to Haiti and plans to up the ante to deter others from entering the country.
Deporting people back to danger when they have the right to asylum is irresponsible and flat-out wrong. We cannot continue playing political football with human lives and pretend like the only choice for children and families is between further suffering or deportation.
We have every means to prevent such egregious acts and inhumane conditions. Join us to demand the Biden Administration HALT all deportations to Haiti.

Since Biden took office, Haitian families have been torn apart and left vulnerable at alarming rates: By March of this year, the Biden Administration had removed more Haitians since taking office than during all of 2020.
In the wake of the 2010 Haitian earthquake, the U.S. did the right thing and granted thousands of Haitians Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and earlier this year, they extended TPS to protect Haitians from danger after pressure from advocates to uphold his promise to Haitians.
If we don’t do something now, our immigration system will continue to fail, children and families will continue being detained and getting separated, and people will inevitably die on our watch. Haitians shouldn’t have to decide between suffering and being sent back to the danger they’re trying to escape--we can do better and we must.
From Haiti to Mexico to Afghanistan , it is unconscionable to send families and children back to such unsafe conditions, and place them at further risk of poverty, instability, and death.
We are capable of doing more. Call on Biden to issue a moratorium on ALL deportation flights headed to Haiti now.

The lives of Haitian people are at risk if we don’t do something now. We need comprehensive solutions now. Biden must do the right thing and welcome people in urgent need of safety with dignity and compassion.
Thanks for all you do,
