Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable Mention, Latin American Studies Association Haiti-Dominican Republic Section Isis Duarte Book Prize Immigrants make up the largest proportion of federal prisoners in the United States, incarcerated in a vast network of more than two hundred detention facilities. This book investigates when detention became a centerpiece of U.S. immigration policy, revealing why the practice was reinstituted in 1981 after being halted for several decades and how the system expanded to become the world’s largest immigration detention regime. From the Krome Detention Center in Miami to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and to jails and prisons across the country, Haitians have been at the center of the story of immigration detention. When an influx of Haitian migrants and asylum seekers came to the U.S. in the 1970s, the government responded with exclusionary policies and detention, setting a precedent for future waves of immigrants. Carl Lindskoog details the discrimination Haitian refugees faced and how their resistance to this treatment—in the form of legal action and activism—prompted the government to reinforce its detention program and create an even larger system of facilities. Drawing on extensive archival research, including government documents, advocacy group archives, and periodicals, Lindskoog provides the first in-depth history of Haitians and immigration detention in the United States. Lindskoog asserts that systems designed for Haitian refugees laid the groundwork for the way immigrants to America are treated today. Detain and Punish provides essential historical context for the challenges faced by today’s immigrant groups, which are some of the most critical issues of our time.

Download or read book U S Immigration Policy on Haitian Migrants written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental, social, and political conditions in Haiti have long prompted congressional interest in U.S. policy on Haitian migrants, particularly those attempting to reach the United States surreptitiously by boat. While some observers assert that such arrivals by Haitians are a breach in border security, others maintain that these Haitians are asylum seekers following a 30-year practice of Haitians coming by boat without legal immigration documents. Migrant interdiction and mandatory detention are key components of U.S. policy toward Haitian migrants, but human rights advocates express concern that Haitians are not afforded the same treatment as other asylum seekers arriving in the United States. This report does not track legislation but will be updated if policies are revised.

Book excerpt: In 'Detain and Punish', Carl Lindskoog provides an in-depth history of immigration detention in the United States. Employing extensive archival research to document the origins and development of immigration detention in the U.S. from 1973 to 2000, it reveals how the world's largest detention system originated in the U.S. government's campaign to exclude Haitians from American shores, and how resistance by Haitians and their allies constantly challenged the detention regime.

Book excerpt: This report examines recent developments in US asylum policy, as well as some problems of a continuing nature, such as the interdiction of Haitians on the high seas. The first part provides a background to recent policy changes designed to stem the influx of asylum seekers. A discussion follows on the operation of Immigration and Naturalization Service policy and its immediate impact on the refugee scene in South Texas and Miami. Described next are the conditions in certain immigration detention centres. There is a section entitled 'Interdiction and detention of Haitians' which explains that interdiction circumvents rights to due process since it is carried out on the high seas, rather than on territory subject to US jurisdiction. General reflections on US asylum policy are offered. This is followed by a set of conclusions and recommendations relating to safe haven, interdiction, access to counsel, deterrence and conditions of detention.

Download or read book Rightlessness written by A. Naomi Paik and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this bold book, A. Naomi Paik grapples with the history of U.S. prison camps that have confined people outside the boundaries of legal and civil rights. Removed from the social and political communities that would guarantee fundamental legal protections, these detainees are effectively rightless, stripped of the right even to have rights. Rightless people thus expose an essential paradox: while the United States purports to champion inalienable rights at home and internationally, it has built its global power in part by creating a regime of imprisonment that places certain populations perceived as threats beyond rights. The United States' status as the guardian of rights coincides with, indeed depends on, its creation of rightlessness. Yet rightless people are not silent. Drawing from an expansive testimonial archive of legal proceedings, truth commission records, poetry, and experimental video, Paik shows how rightless people use their imprisonment to protest U.S. state violence. She examines demands for redress by Japanese Americans interned during World War II, testimonies of HIV-positive Haitian refugees detained at Guantanamo in the early 1990s, and appeals by Guantanamo's enemy combatants from the War on Terror. In doing so, she reveals a powerful ongoing contest over the nature and meaning of the law, over civil liberties and global human rights, and over the power of the state in people's lives.
Download or read book Justice and Law Enforcement written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed certain policies and practices of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) related to the detention of aliens seeking asylum in the United States, INS detention policy, the selection of detention sites, the physical and health conditions of detention facilities, and the total Government cost for the detention of Haitian immigrants. In recent years, INS has taken into custody an increasing number of aliens attempting to enter the United States illegally. Before May 1981, INS released or paroled excludable aliens who were not considered a security risk. However, after that date, INS began to routinely detain excludable aliens for long periods. The rights of excludable aliens have been greatly enhanced in recent years by litigation. However, this litigation has resulted in the temporary suspension of exclusion hearings, thus delaying the hearing process. After a court declared that the new detention policy was null and void, INS has remedied a procedural issue concerning public notice but has remained committed to a strict detention policy. However, INS was not prepared to provide care for so many individuals for so long. Detainees at times live under severely crowded conditions without basic amenities and services. Two detention facilities are presently being used for Haitian aliens and construction of one more facility is being planned. Long-term detention of Haitians costs the Government about $49 a day per detainee, compared with costs for short-term detention which ranges from $12 to $18 per day in other INS facilities. GAO believes that INS should work to achieve better alternatives than the extremes that detention and parole now offer.

Book excerpt: This report studies United States Asylum policy toward refugees from the Caribbean and Central America, particularly those coming from Haiti and El Salvador. The authors' findings are the result of fieldwork and detailed research, a large part of which includes interviews with refugees and people working with them. Starting with a brief introduction and discussion of the causes of exodus, the report contains chapters on international and US laws relating to asylum; the experience of lawyers representing applicants for asylum and of the applicants themselves; and, the role of the US administration. The authors argue that Haitian and Salvadorian refugees, including unaccompanied children, are being denied the right to due process of law and are experiencing inhuman treatment and condition in detention centres. They are critical of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) which, they contend, has frustrated efforts by detainees to apply for asylum. The authors point out that most asylum applicants are obliged to undergo deportation proceedings, and that those who are not deported and are able to raise enough money to pay their bonds are frequently refused work papers by INS. The authors suggest that US deportation procedures represent a violation of both US and international law and do not provide a humanitarian solution to the problem. In concluding, the authors stress the need for legal help and funds for asylum seekers in detention centres and undocumented refugees in hiding. Included in their recommendations are: that refoulement be halted; that refugees detained should not be treated as criminals, and should be fully informed in their language of their rights; that conditions at detention centres be improved; that all INS deportation hearings be open to the public; and, that there be greater Congressional and public scrutiny of refugee policy.
