US shifts to weekly deportation flights to Haiti after TPS ruling

Deportation flights to Haiti have moved from roughly monthly to weekly, with three consecutive Thursday flights landing in Cap-Haïtien by September 3, the most recent carrying 101 people. The flights resumed after a June Supreme Court ruling found judges generally lack power to review a DHS decision revoking Temporary Protected Status, opening the door to strip protections from roughly 350,000 Haitians, including more than 158,000 in Florida, effective July 1. Flights bypass Port-au-Prince's main airport due to gang control of the capital, even as the State Department continues to advise Americans against traveling to Haiti amid violence that has displaced nearly 1.5 million people and killed more than 3,100 between January and June, according to UN figures.
