US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning to deport a man to Haiti who is not a Haitian citizen and who has never been there, according to a report.

Paul Pierrilus, a 40-year-old financial consultant from Rockland County, New York, will be deported on a plane bound for Haiti on Tuesday, The Guardian reported.

According to a birth certificate said to have been supplied to the outlet by his family, Mr Pierrilus was born in the French Caribbean territory of Saint Martin and reportedly came to the US with his parents when he was five. His sister and parents are US citizens.

Mr Pierrilus was seized on 11 January after he attended what he assumed was a routine visit at the immigration office on Federal Plaza in Manhattan, his sister, Neomie Pierrilus, told the newspaper.

He went there for the appointment and while he was there, he was detained, and he was informed that they have documents stating that hes a Haitian citizen, Ms Pierrilus said.

The 40-year-old is said to have told his family he was being transferred to an ICE holding facility in Alexandria, Louisiana.

Ms Pierrilus explained that their parents were Haitian but had never applied for her brothers Haitian citizenship and said that the family does not understand how documents were obtained to say that he had been.

My brother has never even been to Haiti, Ms Pierrilus said. He has the bare minimum of the language, he doesnt know the culture, he doesnt know anyone there. So my brother cannot go there.

Ms Pierrilus reportedly supplied copies of emails to the outlet last year from the then Haitian ambassador, Herv Denis, confirming that her brother was not a Haitian citizen.

She said their parents were Haitian but never applied for Pauls Haitian citizenship and his birth in Saint Martin did not confer to French citizenship either.

Human rights advocates have accused the Trump administration of pushing through a flurry of deportations of Black migrants in their final days in power.

Sending him to Haiti, first of all, is not legal, Guerline Jozef, head of the community group Haitian Bridge Alliance, told the newspaper.

And with whats going on in Haiti right now, there is no way they should be deporting people there period, especially him because he is not Haitian, has never been there and has no connections there. So they cannot just drop him at the airport.

ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Independent.

Following his Inauguration on 20 January, President-elect Joe Biden has said he intends to roll back the Trump administrations aggressive push for deportations and detentions of undocumented immigrants.

The president-elect plans to immediately unveil a sweeping immigration bill administration, hoping to provide an eight-year path to citizenship to those living in the US without legal status.

During his election run, Mr Biden called Mr Trumps actions on immigration an unrelenting assault on American values and said he would undo the damage while continuing to maintain border enforcement.

How can you even deport someone to a nation they are not a citizen of? I thought that was illegal and impossible. What if Haiti rejects him?

They can, and will, and once he's on the ground he'll be forgotten.

That would make him a stateless person which is a blatant human rights violation. Not that ICE cares about things like law. They care about legalism in service of cruelty and are willing to break the law to get that delicious cruelty. Oh and to secure a whiter country.

Remember when everyone was like "Abolish INS immediately" and they did, and then they formed ICE to replace it? Good times...

I think that depends.

I'm not sure how the US' laws work in this instance but I remember the UK government wanted to deport one of the girls that ran off and joined ISIS to Bangladesh, despite her having been born and raised in the UK, being a UK citizen, never having been to Bangladesh, and not having Bengali citizenship. According to the UK government this was "valid" because her parents having Bengali citizenship made her eligible for Bengali citizenship, which in their view meant stripping her of her UK citizenship and shipping her off to Bangladesh wouldn't violate any international laws.

Bangladesh, of course, told them to fuck right off.

I know how it's phrased in the article but it makes me wonder if something similar is the "logic" ICE is following.

It sounds like in this case that ICE is either lying or they made some clerical mistake. His entire family swears he was borb in a country called Saint Martin and has never been to Haiti even as a baby. They shouldn't deport him at all but if they do it should be to Saint Martin not Haiti

For a legality standpoint, the big sticking point would be if his parents were citizens before he was born. Which they probably werent, but like the above post says, the article isnt clear.

Okay yeah wait, the girl I'm thinking of is the one that was stuck in a refugee camp in Syria. She was stripped of her UK citizenship and their argument was that she's eligible for Bengali citizenship through her mom so they are allowed to do it. Apparently the international law covering this says a person must have secondary citizenship or be eligible for another citizenship for this to be done.

So I wonder if that's what's being done here and his sister misinterpreted what kind of documents ICE produced?

Either way deporting someone to somewhere they've never lived, can't speak of the language of, and don't know the culture is beyond cruel.
