 Week of Action to Defend Black Immigrants & Aslyum Seekers\n\nFor virtual 
 events & more info, go to: https://www.nomoredeportations.org/\n\nOn May 
 22, 2021, Secretary Mayorkas said in his TPS redesignation announcement 
 press release that Haiti is currently experiencing serious security 
 concerns, social unrest, an increase in human rights abuses, crippling 
 poverty, and lack of basic resources. \n\nAfter the assassination of 
 President Jovenel Moise, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake—which resulted in the 
 death of over 2,200 people, injured another 12,000, damaged or destroyed 
 120,000 homes, and displaced hundreds of thousands of people—and then 
 afterward Tropical Storm Grace, the Biden Administration sent 72 flights to 
 Haiti, including pregnant women, babies, and families to the same country 
 that they determined was unsafe.\n\nThe high level of anti-Blackness 
 embedded in the immigration system was shown to the world when pictures of 
 Customs and Border Patrol agents on horses and reins were chasing Black 
 asylum seekers. This treatment is unlike any other that we have seen for 
 any other groups of\nmigrants seeking safety.\n\nThis call to action is the 
 start of an escalating campaign to inform the Biden-Harris Administration 
 that the issue is not forgotten, especially in light of the fact that U.S. 
 political intervention plays a role in why Black migrants flee home. We 
 will not stop until all of our policy demands are met; halting all 
 expulsion flights to Haiti, ending Title 42, and granting humanitarian 
 parole to Haitian asylum seekers\n
