More than 50 Democratic lawmakers urged the Biden administration Friday to halt deportations to Haiti as nearly 10,000 migrants have overwhelmed Del Rio, Texas, many of whom are Haitian.
In a letter to the department of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, the lawmakers pointed to the continued instability in Haiti, saying: "The Haitian government's ability to safely receive its citizens will take months, if not years, to secure."
A Homeland Security official told CNN Thursday that expulsion and deportation flights to Haiti will continue.
