In a rare decision, United States (US) immigration authorities have temporarily spared the deportation of a pregnant Haitian woman in Miami, on humanitarian grounds.
Fabienne Josil, 26, five months pregnant, was awaiting deportation when immigration officials unexpectedly told her on Friday evening that she could leave detention to seek the medical care she needs in the US.
"I'm going home to get some rest and be happy with my family," an ecstatic Josil told reporters shortly after her release. "That's all I'm going to do," she added. "I'm going to have something to eat, maybe some good Haitian food," she continued.
Orders received
Barbara Gonzalez, a spokes-woman for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Miami, said Josil is not completely out of the woods; she has received an order of supervision with reporting requirements.
"That doesn't negate the fact that she has a final order of removal," Gonzalez said. "At this point, her safety and security are the priority," she added. Josil, who legally entered the US in 2002, was under a deportation order because she had ''aged out'' of her residency status, her attorney Jeanne Hines said.
