ICE Arrests Haitian Accused Of Human Rights Violations

Last week the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced it had arrested Frantz Douby, a Haitian national “linked to the 1994 Haitian Raboteau massacre.” The arrest was made by Miami agents working under ICE’s “No Safe Haven” initiative, which targets human rights violators hiding in the United States.

Douby was arrested as the result of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision to remand his case based on new evidence that “proves he was tried and convicted in absentia in Haiti for his involvement in the 1994 massacre,” according to officials. According to a DHS news release, Douby was a colonel in charge of logistics for the Haitian military.

Douby’s arrest is the fourth arrest tied to the Raboteau massacre; Carl Dorelien, Herbert Valmond and Luc Asmath have already been deported.

ICE said it has arrested 48 human rights violators from around the world since the launch of “No Safe Haven” three years ago.
