The recent removal flight to Haiti has alarmed community leaders. This flight, one of the largest observed recently, included individuals detained over the past few weeks.
On August 20, 2026, at 8:15 p.m. EDT, a plane landed in Haiti, marking the first deportation since humanitarian protections ended for 350,000 people residing in the United States during the Trump administration. Activists have voiced concerns about a noticeable increase in immigration arrests.
