The Biden administration in collusion with states throughout Latin America and the Caribbean are repressing Haitian refugees, blocking their migration, denying them the right to asylum, and subjecting them to deportation to horrific conditions in Haiti. This webinar will explore how this so-called migrant crisis was caused by US imperialism and enforced by the expansion of its border regime throughout the region.
