Americans detained over Haiti cross border with 33 children
Ten Americans were detained by Haitian police after attempting to move 33 children across the border to the Dominican Republic without proper documents. The group, linked to Idaho churches, planned to escort more children to an orphanage setup at a Dominican beach hotel, drawing fire amid Haiti’s post earthquake instability. Lead organizer Laura Silsby defended their motives, while officials labeled the action an illegal adoption scheme. Names include Drew Culborth of Topeka and members from Meridian and Twin Falls Idaho churches.
