AP Exclusive: US wants tally of Haitian immigrants' crimes

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has begun hunting for evidence of crimes committed by Haitian immigrants as it decides whether to allow them to continue participating in a humanitarian program that has shielded tens of thousands from deportation since a devastating earthquake.

The inquiries into any criminal histories of Haitian immigrants were made in internal U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services emails obtained by The Associated Press. They show the agency’s policy chief also wanted to know how many of the roughly 50,000 Haitians enrolled in the Temporary Protected Status program were taking advantage of public benefits, which they are not eligible to receive.

To add insult to injury

Trump admin. uses segregation-era ruling to defend travel ban

In a legal brief, the Justice Department cited 1962's Palmer V. Thompson to argue that probing officials' motives for the travel ban is “fraught with practical ‘pitfalls’ and ‘hazards’ that would make courts’ task ‘extremely difficult.’”

In Palmer, the court found that city officials could close five community swimming pools in Jackson, Miss., instead of desegregating them.
