Trump administration begins and expands deportation flights to Haiti after ending TPS protections
The Trump administration began deporting Haitian nationals to Haiti after the Supreme Court allowed the termination of Temporary Protected Status for roughly 330,000-350,000 Haitians. The first flight carried approximately 160 deportees to Cap-Haitien on August 20-21, 2026, with a second flight arriving around August 28. The administration announced plans to expand flights from monthly to weekly.
