US Deports Haitians to a City 130 Miles From Home With Less Than Bus Fare

ICE deported over 160 Haitians to Cap-Haïtien on August 20, 2026, avoiding Port-au-Prince, where gangs control roughly 70% of the capital and US commercial flights are banned through early September. Deportees received US$76.40 — less than transport costs to Port-au-Prince, about 130 miles away. The State Department warns against all travel to Haiti.
