| Three days after the suspension of deportation flights to Haiti the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) defied the decision of President Joe Biden, by proceeding Monday to the deportation of 72 Haitian asylum seekers including 21 children and a 2 month old baby to Port au Prince in full political chaos following an attempted coup. Recall that when he came to power US President Biden signed a 100-day moratorium on deportations which were to be limited only to convicted criminals and suspected terrorists. However, on January 26, U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton (appointed by Trump) issued a 14-day injunction against Biden’s moratorium which he later extended to February 23 based on a federal contract with the state entered into by the Trump administration. As soon as the injunction was issued, the ICE immediately resumed its deportation operations to Haiti, Central America and Africa. |
