Several hundred people marched and rallied February 23 in front of the INS office in Miami to demand the release of 185 Haitian immigrants imprisoned at the INS Krome Detention Center since December. "The U.S. is now violating its own laws by keeping in jail people who have shown they are qualified to be released until their case can be heard in a court of law," Marleine Bastien from the Haitian Women of Miami told CNN. Members of the Carpenters Union joined the action carrying flags of El Salvador, Mexico, and Honduras to show broad support among immigrant workers for the rights of Haitians.
