U.S. Restarts Deportation Flights to Haiti
The Biden administration had paused deportations of Haitian migrants in recent months as their home country was wracked by violence. Immigration officials sent dozens of Haitians back to their home country on Thursday, according to three government officials, in the first deportation flight conducted by the United States government in months to the country, which has been gripped by widespread violence. The deportation flight, the first since January, comes as the Biden administration continues to turn toward tougher measures at the southern border as a way to bring down the number of migrants entering the country without authorization. In recent months, however, migrants are crossing the border at lower rates than before.
