CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti \u2014 The U.S. government deported more than 100 people to Haiti on Thursday as it ramps up flights to the troubled Caribbean country.<\/p>\n
The flight departed from Louisiana and landed in the northern Haitian city of Cap-Haitien.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the third consecutive Thursday deportation flight to Haiti, marking a shift from monthly to weekly flights,\u201d said Human Rights First\u2019s ICE Flight Monitor, which tracks flight data.<\/p>\n
More than 200 people were deported to Haiti in late August on two different flights.<\/p>\n
Nicolas Mardoch\u00e9e, a coordinator with Haiti\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told The Associated Press that 101 deportees were aboard Thursday\u2019s flight. He said that among them was Renan H\u00e9douville, who once led Haiti\u2019s Office of Citizen Protection and is accused of corruption.<\/p>\n
Activists have decried the deportation of those including Haitians who had Temporary Protected Status and were living and working legally in the United States.<\/p>\n
The deportees arrive in Cap-Haitien because the main international airport in Port-au-Prince is considered too dangerous.<\/p>\n
Gangs control an estimated 70% of Haiti\u2019s capital and swaths of land in the country\u2019s central region.<\/p>\n
Gang violence has displaced a record of nearly 1.5 million people across Haiti, where more than 3,050 people were reported killed from January to June, according to the U.N.<\/p>\n
Since December 2025, flights have originated in Alexandria, Louisiana, a hub for ICE deportation flights, with a stop in Miami on the way to Cap-Haitien International Airport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti \u2014 The U.S. government deported more than 100 people to Haiti on Thursday as it ramps…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":835992,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-835991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-news","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=835991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835991\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/835992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=835991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=835991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=835991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
