CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti (AP) — The United States deported more than 160 people to Haiti on Thursday for the first time since the Trump administration won a legal battle to end Temporary Protected Status for some 350,000 Haitians.
The plane landed in the northern Haitian city of Cap-Haïtien because the main international airport in Port-au-Prince is considered too dangerous.
The US government currently has a ban on US commercial flights to Haiti’s capital through early September because of ongoing gang violence.
