In 2010, Haiti was struck by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake, one of the deadliest earthquakes in modern history. The disaster killed 100s of 1000s of Haitians, left millions homeless, and nearly destroyed Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince.https://www.cnn.com/2013/12/12/world/haiti-earthquake-fast-facts/index.html …

@DHSgov took irrational and discriminatory action, denying Haitian#immigrants their right to due process and equal protection under the Fifth Amendment by revoking TPS. http://bit.ly/2GeX8cQ#HaitiTPSDeze collectie tonen -
As we charge in our new lawsuit, the true motive for DHS’s change: racial discrimination. Read our complaint here: http://bit.ly/2DJLTKY
