  • A flight carrying 101 Haitian deportees landed in Cap-Haïtien on Thursday, September 3, according to Haiti’s Foreign Ministry coordinator Nicolas Mardochée.
  • The flight was the third consecutive Thursday deportation flight to Haiti, marking a shift from roughly monthly operations to weekly flights.
  • Deportation flights avoid Port-au-Prince because violence and gang control have made the capital difficult to access.

A flight carrying 101 deported Haitians landed in Cap-Haïtien on Thursday, September 3, as the United States accelerated removals to a country facing widespread violence and gang control.

Nicolas Mardochée, coordinator at Haiti’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, provided the figure to The Associated Press. The aircraft landed in the northern city rather than the capital, as flights carrying deportees avoid Port-au-Prince because of the security situation.

About 1.5 million people have been displaced by violence in Haiti, while gangs control roughly 70 percent of Port-au-Prince. Those conditions have shaped the route used for deportation operations.

The arrival marked the third consecutive Thursday on which a deportation flight reached Haiti. The pattern represents a significant change in U.S. policy, from operations that took place approximately once a month to weekly flights.
