Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin clashed with CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday over deportations to Haiti after the Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump's administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrian immigrants."I understand that.But based on everything I have read, including the U.N.
and Human Rights Watch, it doesn’t sound safe for Haitians.More than 8,100 killings documented last year, those weren’t Americans," Tapper said.
"Haiti is among the top five countries with the highest rates of rape and sexual abuse, with more than 1,200 cases of sexual violence last year.That’s not Americans; 1.4 million people have been displaced.
Those aren’t Americans.""Is there a question in that?" Mullin replied to Tapper's monologue.Tapper began by asking whether all affected migrants would be deported and when removals would start.Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin appears on CNN’s "State of the Union," where he defended deportations after the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end TPS protections for Haitians and Syrians.SUPREME COURT'S LATEST IMMIGRATION RULING WILL CAUSE AMERICANS TO 'DIE AND SUFFER' ATTORNEY WARNS"Will you be deporting all of them?" Tapper asked.
"Will they be all deported back to their home countries, Haiti and Syria? And when will these deportations start? Will it be immediately?"Mullin said TPS was not intended to become a permanent immigration status and said beneficiaries had time to pursue other options."Temporary Protected Status was never intended to be permanent," Mullin said."The whole time these individuals have been here underneath the Temporary Protected Status, they could have applied for a visa.
They could have applied for LPR.They could have applied for different directions."Jake Tapper presses Mullin on whether Haiti is safe for deportations, citing State Department warnings, U.N.
