The first deportation flight left last week as gangs control much of Port-au-Prince and 1.5 million people remain displaced, officials said.
- Following the termination of Temporary Protected Status , the United States initiated deportation flights for Haitian nationals last week, leaving thousands facing potential removal to a country in crisis.
- Gang violence has devastated Haiti since President Jovenel Moïse's 2021 assassination, with nearly 5,600 deaths in 2025 alone; analyst Diego Da Rin describes the resulting "criminal governance" as gangs control Port-au-Prince through extortion and territorial dominance.

- The UN refugee agency ACNUR urges countries to refrain from forced returns, citing severe protection risks, while Haiti prepares for elections amid concerns that gang violence will undermine government legitimacy.
