US Deports Haitians to a City 130 Miles From Home, Giving Them Less Than Bus Fare

ICE deported over 160 Haitians to Cap-Haïtien on August 20, 2026, bypassing Port-au-Prince, where gangs control an estimated 70% of the capital and US commercial flights are banned through early September. Deportees received US$76.40 — less than the cost of transport to Port-au-Prince, roughly 130 miles away. The State Department warns: "Do not travel to Haiti for any reason."
