Sail GP Halifax: The Extreme Race Experience | SaltWire #racing #sailing #catamaran - Nearly 500 immigration and human rights organizations signed a letter urging the U.S. government to halt deportations of Haitians and expand migration protections as a devastating gang conflict escalates on the Caribbean island nation.
Neighboring countries have meanwhile bolstered border security and deported Haitians fleeing the violence back into the country, despite U.N. criticisms. The U.S. and Canada have also deployed soldiers to secure their embassies. Haiti's political situation has been at a deadlock for over two weeks with politicians unable to come together to install a transition council president and interim prime minister, while alliances of heavily armed gangs continue fighting over parts of the capital Port-au-Prince that they do not yet control.
The United Nations estimates over 360,000 Haitians are internally displaced and thousands have been killed in the conflict, while the ever-shifting battle lines cut off access to healthcare, food and regular income.
