Haitian student's suicide reveals human toll of immigration crackdown
Over the weekend, the family of Pierre Damas Bel laid him to rest. The 20-year-old Haitian student lost his legal immigration status in July after the Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to end temporary protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitians. Bel died by suicide a month after immigration authorities required him to wear an ankle monitor. William Brangham reports. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders.
