The United States carried out its third consecutive deportation flight to Haiti, sending 101 Haitian nationals to Cap-Haïtien on Thursday.

The latest ICE Air flight brings the total number of Haitians deported on three flights since August to 319, as the Trump administration moves forward with ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 300,000 Haitians.

The deportations come as Haiti continues to face a severe security and humanitarian crisis, raising concerns about how returnees will be received and reintegrated.

The flight departed Miami and arrived at Cap-Haïtien International Airport. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin publicly announced the operation on X, posting a photograph of Haitian migrants preparing to board the aircraft. Some appeared to be restrained with leg chains and reinforced seat belts.

His post, which said “Today’s deportation destination: HAITI,” quickly drew criticism online, with users accusing the administration of deliberately using provocative imagery.

Haitian officials have reportedly been informed that the United States plans to operate two deportation flights per week, potentially carrying up to 250 people per flight.

The latest flight was initially reported to have carried 78 people, but the Miami Herald later reported that 101 deportees arrived in Haiti.

Authorities have not publicly disclosed the immigration status or individual circumstances of everyone deported.

The deportations are unfolding after a July U.S. Supreme Court ruling cleared the way for the administration to end TPS protections for more than 300,000 Haitians, potentially leaving many at risk of removal.
