Deported Haitians are facing violence and uncertainty after weekly US deportation flights began landing in Cap-Haitien, Haiti.
Seven hundred sixty-six Haitians have been deported in the past two months, according to Human Rights First, after President Trump revoked Temporary Protected Status for Haitians in the United States. USA Today reports deportees arrive in Cap-Haitien in shackles, receive a hot meal, twenty-five thousand gourdes (about one hundred ninety-one dollars) and one night in a hotel — then face gang violence, extortion and hunger alone. Refugees International's Yael Schacher, who observed an October eighth arrival, called it "a kind of a nightmare situation for people." Temporary Protected Status was first granted after Haiti's devastating two thousand ten earthquake and renewed for years, but the two thousand twenty-one assassination of President Jovenel Moise and gang control of much of Port-au-Prince have left the country in crisis. Critics argue deportations return people to the very danger the protection status was meant to shield them from, while supporters of the policy say the temporary status had stretched far beyond its original purpose.
