The U.S. plans to deport Haitians on Monday who say they have tested positive for COVID-19 ― a move that would put both fellow airline passengers and people in their homeland at risk
.
The latest planned removals show that Immigration and Customs Enforcement may be deporting people it knows for certain are COVID-19-positive ― a move that can spread the virus and strain the health care system in other countries. Etienne and Calice, the two Haitian men who said they tested positive for COVID-19, were in “total lockdown” inside Pine Prairie Immigration and Customs Enforcement Processing Center in Louisiana, Calice said.
The Institute for Justice and Democracy In Haiti confirmed that the three dormmates were moved to Alexandria, and their names are listed on the flight manifest. HuffPost was unable to reach the individuals. Calice said he had to physically help the man walk Sunday morning because he was in so much pain. “When he was leaving, his leg was aching,” Calice said. “You know like when you have a fever?”
