Haiti - USA : More than 2,000 children born abroad to Haitian parents were deported to Haiti

A report published on March 24 by the NGO "Human Rights Watch" (HRW) reveals that the United States expelled or deported from January 1st, 2021 to February 26, 2022, 25,765 people to Haiti https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-36035-haiti-usa-biden-expelled-in-1-year-almost-as-many-haitians-as-all-the-other-presidents-in-20-years.html

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) points out from September 19, 2021 to February 14, 2022, the United States returned to Haiti approximately 2,300 children born abroad to Haitian parents https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35062-haiti-migration-500-foreign-children-deported-to-haiti.html . Out of these, about 1,600 were born in Chile; 580 in Brazil and around 140 in other countries, including the Bahamas, Argentina, Mexico and Venezuela. the IOM finds that there were irregular situations in the expulsions, since the children born in Brazil or Chile had the nationality of the country of their birth (jus soli) and some even held a Brazilian or chilili passport https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-34794-haiti-flash-45-to-60-flights-of-expulsion-of-haitians-expected-in-port-au-prince.html

The HRW report states "[...] Most of the American returnees had left Haiti years earlier, fleeing an already difficult economic and security situation, and lived in Chile or Brazil before going to the United States. Some have suffered violence, including sexual abuse, en route to the United States [...]"

Due to the irregularities of the United States Government "[...] The United States must immediately end the inappropriate use of title 42, a section of the United States health care law, to deport people to Haiti and elsewhere" believes Human Rights Watch.

Furthermore "[...] Haitians detained in US border prisons [awaiting deportation] reported difficult living conditions, including insufficient food, lack of access to showers or hygiene products for weeks and a lack of medical care [...]"

HRW further confirms that several testimonies from Haitians report that border agents took clothes, phones, money and their personal documents, and that they had not recovered all of their personal effects upon arrival in Haiti [...]"
