Haitian Interdiction Revisited

By immigrationprof

In an essay entitled “Thirteen Years at Guantánamo,” Yale Law School Dean Harold Hongju Koh reviews a book (Brandt Goldstein, Storming the Court: How a Band of Yale Law Students Sued the President – and Won) on the Yale law students’ efforts to halt Haitian interdiction and repatriation in the 1990s.  Dean Koh thinks back on the case and traces the impact of the Supreme Court’s decision in Sale v. Haitian Ctrs. Council Inc. on the detention of “enemy combatants” on Guantánamo today. The essay can be found at http://www.alternet.org/story/26132/ KJ
