Summary:
Advocates for immigrants said the arrests and deportations have taken a toll on Haitian communities, tearing immigrants -- whose only crime was entering the United States illegally -- from their American spouses and children and condemning them to lives of poverty and violence in a country devastated by political instability and natural disaster. [...] the Haitian government has refused to issue travel documents to deportees, and the United States authorities said they were worried that confusion in Haiti over American policy was causing a surge in the numbers of Haitians trying to flee their country.
