Angelucci Manigat is the publisher of the Connecticut Haitian Voice, a publication that serves Haitian nationals both in this state and in surrounding states.
He joined All Things Considered to talk about his reaction to the news that the U.S. government intends to fly all of those Haitian refugees at the Texas border back to Haiti.
