United States: A Catholic Archbishop Calls for a Suspension of Deportations to Haiti

Archbishop Paul Coakley, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), urges President Donald Trump to suspend the deportations of Haitian nationals living in the United States. In a letter addressed to the American president, posted on the USCCB website, he cites the security situation in Haiti and the risks faced by those being returned, particularly following a recent deadly attack in Kenscoff. Bishop Coakley believes that there is currently no adequate system in place to ensure the safe and orderly reception and reintegration of deportees.<\/p>
