First deportation flight lands in Haiti after TPS suspension
North AmericaPoliticsHigh confidence — 93/100
The first deportation flight to Haiti since the US supreme court upheld Donald Trump’s power to strip 350,000 Haitians – and others – of a key type of legal status in the US landed in the troubled nation on Thursday.
The flight was carrying more that 160 Haitian nationals and landed in Cap-Haïtien, Haiti’s second-largest city, aboard an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) charter.
The arrival point was selected because the main international airport in the capital, Port-au-Prince, is considered too dangerous.
