19410: Hess: returning refugees (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: DougRHess@aol.com

When refugees are returned to Haiti by the US, where are they dropped
off? What is the procedure? It will be important to know if these returnees face
any violence at this location or nearby and how the US protects whatever Coast
Guard vessel is used. It would be very ironic for the US to return people and
try to claim they don't face violence, if the US has to heavily arm the ship
and provide troops simply to secure the area where they return them.

Any ideas? Thanks.
