U.S. Resumes Mass Deportations to Haiti Following TPS Repeal
The U.S. government has initiated the first mass deportation flight to Haiti since the Supreme Court upheld the administrative termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). An ICE charter flight carrying 161 individuals landed in Cap-Haïtien rather than Port-au-Prince due to ongoing gang control of the capital's airport. Human rights organizations have condemned the move, noting that 1.5 million Haitians are currently displaced and gangs control approximately 85% of the capital, making the returns a "virtual death sentence."
