A Year of Global Displacement.

- Abstract
This is especially true for Haitians, who have long encountered discriminatory U.S. immigration policies and abuse -- exemplified by images of U.S. Border Patrol agents on horseback whipping desperate Haitian asylum seekers in Del Rio, Texas last year. As a result, many Haitians have had to flee their country, which prompted the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi to call on all countries "to stand in solidarity with Haiti" and "not to return Haitians to a country that is extremely fragile." Between October 2018 and June 2021, the U.S. denied asylum to Haitians more than any other nationality.
