The U.S. returned more than 160 individuals to Haiti on Thursday, marking the first such flight since the Trump administration legally ended Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Haitians.
Due to extreme danger at Port-au-Prince's primary international airport, the flight landed in the northern city of Cap-Haïtien. A U.S. government ban currently prohibits American commercial flights to the capital through early September amid persistent gang warfare.
