HOME SWEET HAITI: DHS Highlights Criminals Deported Back to Haiti, Including Pedophiles, Gang Members, Drug Traffickers, and Violent Assailants

WASHINGTON - The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out a deportation flight for Haitian illegal aliens in the United States following the termination of Haiti's Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

"On the latest deportation flight back to Haiti, we deported dangerous criminals including pedophiles, gang members, drug traffickers, and violent assailants," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "Despite the best efforts from activist judges, the Supreme Court reaffirmed what we already know: the T in TPS stands for TEMPORARY. TPS was never designed to be permanent, yet previous administrations have used it as a de facto amnesty program for decades. Under the strong leadership of President Donald J. Trump, we are putting America first again."

The flight took place on August 20, taking 162 illegal aliens back to Haiti. Among those on the flight were:

DHS announced the termination of Haiti's TPS designation on June 27, 2025. On June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in a 6-3 decision that the termination of Haiti's TPS designation could go into effect. The ruling further determined that federal law generally bars judicial review of any future TPS designation and termination decisions, and also determined that challengers to any such decisions are unlikely to succeed on claims that terminations are due to racial discrimination.

Haitian nationals who can no longer remain in the United States are encouraged to use U.S. Customs and Border Protection's CBP Home app to report their departure from the United States. By using the CBP Home app, illegal aliens earn forgiveness for any civil fines or penalties for failing to depart the country. Not only are the fines forgiven, but illegal aliens receive a free flight home and an exit bonus of $2,600.

Those illegal aliens who don't take advantage of this special offer today have only one alternative: They will be arrested, deported, and they will never be able to return to the United States.
