An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) charter deportation flight carrying about 161 Haitian nationals lands in Cap-Haïtien, Haiti, shortly before noon on Thursday. The flight departs from Alexandria, Louisiana, and arrives at Cap-Haïtien International Airport, Haiti’s second-largest city.
The arrivals follow a decision in the United States in which the Supreme Court upholds Donald Trump’s authority to end temporary legal protection for about 350,000 people, including many Haitians, through the suspension or revocation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Both outlets frame the flight as the first deportation to Haiti since the TPS-related policy change.
While both reports focus on the same landing, they provide limited additional detail beyond the flight’s route, timing, and the number of people on board. The Guardian also situates the event within the broader Supreme Court ruling and its implications for Haitians and other affected groups.
