Hundreds of Haitian nationals — soon to be thousands — are being sent back to Haiti by the Biden Administration from the border even though many haven’t lived in Haiti for decades and have zero work or even a place to stay in a country they barely know:

BREAKING: According to @CNBC President Biden has used Title 42 to expel 690,000 people, 250,000 more people than President Trump.

President Joe Biden’s administration has deported hundreds of people despite his campaign pledge to halt most deportations at the beginning of his term.

Since the creation of ICE, there have been over 177 reported deaths at immigrant detention centers.

At these detention centers, immigrants are denied medical care & forced into slave labor in order to afford food.
