The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the tribunal of the Organization of American States, in which the US is a treaty member, has told the Obama Administration to halt the deportations of 33 individuals to cholera-stricken Haiti. Frankly, its embarrassing that an international human rights tribunal is calling out the US on its immigration policies and hopefully the White House will get the message.

So much for the bravado. The Maricopa County Sheriff's office is now cooperating in the Justice Department investigation of systematic civil rights violations.
