A group of national Haitian diaspora leaders from Miami is now at the Del Rio, Texas border and they say that what happened there is unacceptable.
"We were invited here by Secretary Mayorkas to come and witness and do an assessment of how brothers and sisters are being treated here," said Tessa Petit, co-executive director of Florida Immigrant Coalition.
They were under the impression that there were close to 2500 Haitians under the bridge, but when they got there Friday, "there was nothing. It looked like nothing had ever happened."
