31 Haitians who have managed to arrive on US soil face detention upon arrival. The Department of Homeland Security considers Haitian asylum seekers as a group that is ‘a threat to national security’. Since 2002 the Department of Homeland Security has ordered the detention of Haitians en masse. Although officially detained for 90 days before facing repatriation, many of the detainees at Krome Processing Center in Miami face indefinite detention.

33 The Justice Department, eg, has maintained that this policy will prevent mass migrations that could divert the Coast Guard from its national security duties. According to this logic, any migrant population that requires protection or aid from the US armed services would menace US security.
