Excerpt
"Within the last ten days, there have been five suicide attempts in the Krome detention center," said Leticia Godoy, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) staff person in Miami concerning Haitian refugees imprisoned by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). "That just gives you some idea of how bad the situation is."
At last report, more than 2,000 Haitians have been languishing in detention as advocacy continues for their release - and as controversy rages on over their legal status here.
