UN warns against deportations to violence-torn Haiti

The United Nations is urging the United States not to deport Haitians back to their home country, which is currently devastated by violence and famine. A UN human rights expert has warned that such deportations could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe. Approximately 350,000 Haitian nationals currently hold temporary protective status in the United States, which allows them to live and work in the country legally. The warning comes as Haiti continues to struggle with severe security challenges and widespread hunger that have made conditions in the Caribbean nation extremely dangerous for returning migrants.
