The United States has sent a second deportation flight to Haiti, carrying dozens of migrants back to a country many of them barely know, just days after the government ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Haitians living in America [230093]. TPS had allowed these individuals to live and work legally in the U.S. without fear of deportation [230093]. The flight landed on Thursday, weeks after the termination of the program, as part of an ongoing series of removals [230856].

For many of the deportees, Haiti is not a home they remember, but a place they left years ago [230093]. The move has raised concerns among Haitian communities in the U.S., including in Maryland, where many migrants have settled [230856]. Local advocates say families are now facing an uncertain future [230856]. “No one is safe,” one community leader said, describing the fear spreading through the population [230856]. The end of TPS means thousands of Haitians could be forced to return to a country still struggling with political instability and violence [230856].

Officials have not released the exact number of people on Thursday’s flight, but it marks another step in the U.S. government’s policy to phase out the protections [230856]. Community groups are urging calm and offering legal guidance to those affected [230856]. With deportation flights continuing, many say the clock is ticking [230856].
