DHS Resumes Deportations to Cap-Haïtien, 57 Haitians Return Including U.S.-Born Children

The Department of Homeland Security ran a second ICE charter to Cap-Haïtien, Haiti in one week, deporting 57 Haitians—including several children born in the U.S.—as part of a broader push following the termination of Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status. The flight, from Alexandria, Louisiana, arrived as rights groups warn that Haiti remains unsafe for returns and Haitian authorities warn they are unprepared, while DHS argues conditions have improved enough to justify departures. The move signals a potential uptick in removals and reflects ongoing tensions over U.S. immigration policy and TPS changes.
