Deportations to Haiti Despite Gang Control and Humanitarian Collapse
The US deported Haitians to a country whose capital's airport US airlines are barred from after commercial planes were hit by gang gunfire, where 90% of the capital is under gang control and 1.4 million are displaced. DHS terminated TPS for about 348,000 Haitians while the State Department maintained a Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisory; the Supreme Court allowed the termination to proceed in June 2026.
