Haitian migrants given more time for asylum hearings

U.S. immigration officials granted additional time for 101 Haitian migrants that arrived in south Florida in late March. Advocates for the migrants were pleased with the decision, which would give them an extension to prepare for asylum hearings.

In the meantime, 78 Haitians who tried to reach the Floridian coast on Sunday (image) will be deported as part of the “wet-foot, dry-foot” policy.
