Detroit, Mich. \u2013 Photos and videos captured on the Southern Border near Del Rio, Texas have sparked outcry from critics of US Immigration policy, bringing protests as far north as Detroit, Michigan.<\/p>\n
The photos capture Border Patrol Officers on horseback<\/span><\/a>, swinging their reigns in an effort to prevent migrants from going back and forth over the US-Mexico Border. The images themselves seem to be reminiscent to a time in which slave patrols brutally attacked escaping African slaves from horseback.<\/p>\n The Biden Administration has promised a full investigation of the actions of Border Patrol Officers, while the heads of the Del Rio Border Patrol have discontinued the use of Horses in their activities.<\/p>\n Over the coming days, Biden has guaranteed a hardline approach to the thousands of Haitian Migrants attempting to cross the border, with flights back to Haiti arriving in Port-au-Prince later that same week.<\/p>\n But reports are surfacing of many being released to other parts of the United States<\/a><\/span> where Customs officials are able to process the overflow of migrants coming from the shuttered Del Rio International Bridge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThis is not the time to come\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n In response to the crisis at the US-Mexico Border, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters early last week that the situation is devastating, but that \u201cthis is not the time for people to come.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s important for people to also know that what we\u2019re trying to do is also protect people,\u201d Psaki said. \u201cWe\u2019re conveying that this is not the time for people to come. We have been implementing Title 42, That\u2019s not just about people in the United States. That\u2019s also about protecting migrants who would come in mass groups and be in mass groups.\u201d<\/p>\n Title 42 is a Trump-era Public Health Order that places grounds for expulsion on any migrants coming from a country where a communicable disease is present. Many see Title 42 as a way to undercut the United States immigration system, while others see it as a necessary measure to control the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n Since the devastating 2010 Earthquake in Haiti, migrants from the country have continued Temporary Protected Status (TPS) until 2023, with extensions resulting from other natural disasters and the political turmoil from the assassination of President Jovenel Moise.<\/p>\n Some Haitian migrants seeking Asylum have been relocated to other US-Mexico border outposts to faster process the vast number of claims to Asylum. According to a press release from the United Nations Refugee Agency<\/a><\/span>, around 2,000 migrants have already been deported either to Mexico or back to Haiti in flights chartered by the United States Government.<\/p>\n
