RE: Crisis in Haiti – Release of Haitian Immigration Detainees
Secretary Janet Napolitano
Department of Homeland Security
Dear Secretary Janet Napolitano,
We are very thankful that the Department of Homeland Security would decide to halt deportations to Haiti during these tragic times. We are also glad to see how most countries and the United States have responded to the emergency situation our Haitian brothers and sisters are currently facing.
Ms Napolitano, we would like to ask you and our government to consider not only halting deportations but also releasing those immigration detainees who have no criminal record. As you are aware, hundreds of Haitian immigrants have been detained upon arrival to the United States. Many of them are in the process of applying for political asylum and while they have other cases pending in immigration courts which take months and sometimes years to reach a final decision. Keeping immigrants without criminal records detained for so long would only add to the baggage of accusations of inhumane treatment at immigration detention facilities in the U.S.
Our Haitian brothers and sisters need not only our support, but also our consideration and respect both abroad and at home. This is a time to finally take into account Temporary Protection Status (TPS) for Haitians since in the past it has been considered unnecessary.
We will continue to voice our concerns on behalf of Haiti and those that are in need because after all, we are all in this together. Thanks in advance for your time and prompt response to the crisis in Haiti.
Best Regards
Nora Sandigo Sergio Massa
