US EditionPanic grips Haitian migrants in US as Trump pushes deportations
UNITED STATES, JUL 17 – The end of Temporary Protected Status in June 2025 triggered mass deportations of Haitians amid ongoing political violence, with 95 deportees arriving on the latest flight, officials said.
- On Wednesday, a deportation flight landed with 95 Haitian nationals in Cap-Haïtien, under intensified enforcement.
- Following the end of TPS protections, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security increased deportations of Haitians, prompting widespread community panic and urgent processing of returnees.
- Among recent deportees, many passengers disembarked with their faces covered, declining to speak or identify themselves, while armed Haitian police officers stood by on the tarmac.
- Haitian authorities processed returnees at a makeshift Cap-Haïtien airport facility, confirming each will undergo a case-by-case review.
- Beyond the deportations, the influx adds pressure on an unstable Haiti, where gang violence killed more than 3,000 people in the first half of 2025, the UN says.
