US begins mass deportations to Haiti following TPS termination
The United States has initiated mass deportations of Haitian nationals following the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 330,000 individuals. This policy shift occurs as the security situation in Haiti remains critical, with gang coalitions controlling 90 percent of Port-au-Prince. A recent gang attack near the capital left 47 dead and over 50 kidnapped. Humanitarian agencies warn that returnees face extreme risk of execution or kidnapping upon arrival in the conflict-torn nation.
