US deports more than 100 people to Haiti as gang violence persists
The U.S. government deported more than 100 people to Haiti on a Thursday flight from Louisiana to Cap-Haitien, marking the third consecutive weekly deportation flight according to Human Rights First's ICE Flight Monitor.
Among the 101 deportees was Renan Hédouville, accused of corruption, as stated by Nicolas Mardoché from Haiti's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Deportees arrive in Cap-Haitien due to dangers at Port-au-Prince airport, stemming from gang violence that controls much of the capital and has displaced nearly 1.5 million people in Haiti.
