From Times Staff and Wire Reports
President Clinton signed an order that temporarily lifts the threat of deportation hanging over thousands of Haitian illegal immigrants who are seeking political asylum in the United States. The rarely used presidential order will postpone deportations of eligible Haitians for a year while the administration seeks a long-term legislative solution to their plight, Clinton said. Congressional sources estimate 30,000 to 40,000 may be affected.
