US deports more than 100 people to Haiti as gang violence persists
- On Thursday, the United States deported 101 people to Haiti on a charter flight from Louisiana, landing in Cap-Haitien instead of the capital.
- Deportees arrive in Cap-Haitien because gangs control an estimated 70% of Haiti's capital, rendering the main international airport in Port-au-Prince too dangerous for safe landings.
- This flight marks the third consecutive Thursday deportation, shifting from monthly to weekly flights, said Human Rights First's ICE Flight Monitor, which tracks flight data.
- Nicolas Mardochée, a coordinator with Haiti's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirmed 101 deportees were aboard, including Renan Hédouville, a former Office of Citizen Protection leader accused of corruption.
- Following the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, which affected around 350,000 individuals, gang violence has displaced nearly 1.5 million people across Haiti.
