US Deports 161 Haitians as TPS Ends Amid Haiti's Gang Violence
The United States deported 161 Haitians on August 21, marking the first such flight since the Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 350,000 Haitians. The deportees, including TPS holders and some with prison records, arrived in Cap-Haitien due to security concerns at Port-au-Prince's airport amid ongoing gang violence. Haitian officials noted some deportees were born outside Haiti and face challenges returning to regions controlled by gangs. The Haitian government emphasized its role in welcoming and assisting returnees.
