Take Action – End Deportation Flights to Haiti >>
my U.S. Senators and Representative, President Biden, and Secretary Mayorkas
We cannot allow that to happen. The cruelty rooted in hate, racism, and xenophobia that has shaped immigration policies for years continues to brutally harm and oppress millions of people today. We must demand an end to Title 42 expulsion flights, and for the United States to respect the human right to seek asylum.
Sign your name to Amnesty International USA's petition. Send a letter to your members of Congress right now to help pass legislation to halt these injustices and put pressure on the Biden administration to do the right thing >>

I’m writing on behalf of Amnesty International with deep disappointment in the horrific treatment of Haitians by Customs and Border Protection and the Biden administration’s aggressive expansion of Title 42 expulsions. The cruelty and racism, and in Del Rio cannot go unanswered.
If the U.S. truly aims to convince the world that its commitment to human rights and racial justice is sincere, then it cannot deport thousands of people who fear for their safety back to a country experiencing extreme instability.
I call on the Biden administration and my U.S. Senators and Representative to:
- Immediately halt any and all deportations to Haiti and Afghanistan, and end Title 42 expulsions that place Haitians, Black, and other asylum-seekers in danger if returned to their countries of origin
- Immediately grant humanitarian parole to Haitian and other Black asylum-seekers at the U.S. southern border and uphold the legal and moral obligation to restore access to asylum for all people seeking safety
- End the practice of interdictions, which place Haitian and other asylum-seekers at sea at harm if returned to their homes or held in immigration detention, whether in Guantanamo Bay or other detention facilities
- End the use of arbitrary, mass immigration detention, including phasing out Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contracts with private prison companies and county jails, and incorporating a presumption of liberty in all custody decisions such that asylum-seekers and immigrants are allowed to live in the U.S. as they navigate the immigration process, with the support of sponsors and community-based nonprofit programs if they need it
This is your time to reverse course and show leadership. People in the United States and around the world are watching you.
Thank you.
